Purchased in 2019 as their first home, the homeowners were immediately drawn to the amount of space the property offered both inside and out, along with the practicality of the large garage and the home's original character. Positioned in a quiet, family-friendly pocket close to schools, shops, and local amenities, it provided the ideal place to settle in and start the next chapter.
Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated and maintained to improve comfort and functionality. Hybrid flooring was installed throughout in 2019, while fresh paint in Dulux Berkshire White, updated light switches, and upgraded power points completed in 2026 have given the home a refreshed and modern feel. The open-plan living and kitchen area has become the centre of everyday living, offering plenty of natural light, mountain views, and year-round comfort with two Panasonic split-system air conditioners and a Real Flame gas fireplace.
Outside, the covered pergola and large backyard have provided plenty of space for entertaining, children, and pets, while features such as the enclosed cat run, new Colorbond fencing, security cameras, and powered double garage with mezzanine storage add practicality and flexibility. The homeowners say one of the things they will miss most is the mountain outlook from the living areas and backyard, along with having the room to comfortably grow their family.
