Cherished by the same family for more than five decades, this privately built residence is being offered to the market for the very first time.  

Set on a generous parcel of land and enjoying a coveted northerly aspect to the rear, the four-bedroom home offers generous proportions, abundant natural light and a flexible floorplan ready to be enjoyed as is, renovated, or transformed to create a contemporary family haven.  

Showcasing charming Edwardian-style features, including elegant French windows, the home exudes warmth and character throughout. The living spaces provide comfort and functionality, while the adaptable layout caters to a variety of lifestyle needs.  

Adding further value is the former single garage, thoughtfully converted into a self-contained one-bedroom flat with its own external access. Complete with a kitchenette, timber parquetry flooring, and a bay window that enhances the internal living space, it offers ideal accommodation for extended families, guests, a home-based business or potential supplementary income.

The established and low maintenance gardens will be appreciated by garden enthusiasts with fresh produce available year round.  The workshop at the rear of the carport offers the perfect escape area for DYI projects or space for the garden tools. 

As the locals will love to tell you, this location offers all the convenience of a city-fringe suburb with the peace of bushland walking trails right at your back doorstep.
