A Timeless Sanctuary: 50 Years of Family Memories
A spacious multi level family home perfect for extended family or teens wanting privacy. With choices of outdoor areas amidst beautiful established trees and birdsong makes relaxing with a book or entertaining guests a pleasure.
Step into a home where architectural character meets the tranquillity of nature. For the first time in five decades, this cherished residence is ready to welcome its next lucky family.
Inside, a spacious 2.5-story design reveals lofty cathedral ceilings and high-set windows that invite a gentle flow of natural light. The upper level features two serene bedrooms, each boasting a Juliet window—a romantic touch that looks down upon the living space and out to the lush greenery. A spacious attic and a modern bathroom with underfloor heating complete this level.
Just a few steps down to the split-level, a clever conversion has transformed the original garage into a third bedroom with an ensuite, offering perfect flexibility for guests or teenagers.
Designed for year-round comfort, the home remains cool in summer and warm in winter. At its heart lies a nostalgic nod to the 70s: a sunken lounge that radiates mid-century charm, anchored by a crackling fireplace for cozy winter evenings. Whether you’re preparing a meal in the kitchen while admiring serene bush views or hosting friends for a sun-drenched brunch on the generous deck, you are constantly embraced by nature.
The entertainment continues downstairs, where a versatile billiards room awaits—the perfect backdrop for laughter and family fun.
Beyond the home itself, the lifestyle here is one of convenience and connection. A few minutes' stroll takes you to the highly regarded Willow Park School, while Highbury Shopping Centre is just a short drive away for all your daily needs. Set on a substantial 1,181m² (more or less) FREEHOLD section, the property offers rare privacy and a distinct sense of character, perfectly balancing unique design with the space required for a growing family.
Practicalities are well-covered with off-street parking for up to three vehicles. Our owners are committed to their next move, and this property must be sold. Contact us today to arrange a private viewing or join us at the open home.
