So good is this location that our owner has only moved around the corner. With Merivale Mall less than 500 metres away, and every convenience within easy reach, it is easy to see the appeal.

Designed with practicality and flexibility in mind, the home offers open-plan kitchen, dining and living along the north side, complemented by a separate second lounge that works perfectly as a media room. The kitchen is anchored by a 90cm gas oven and cooktop, with a scullery to keep everyday mess out of sight when entertaining.

A downstairs primary suite with walk-through wardrobe and ensuite makes this a home that works for all ages and stages, from growing families through to retirement. All three other bedrooms can be found upstairs, they're well-proportioned doubles with built-in wardrobes, sharing a generous family bathroom and an extra landing space upstairs. Zoned for CBHS, CGHS, Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood Primary, schooling options are well covered.

Freehold and fully standalone, there is generous off-street parking with room for a boat, trailer or extra toys. Built in 2014, the home is double glazed and insulated, with solar panels offsetting power costs, and a gas fire and heat pumps providing easy year-round comfort.
