After more than 46 wonderful years of cherished ownership, the current owners say if you're simply looking for a house, this may not be it but if you're searching for a true home, this is the one for you. Tucked away down a private driveway, you wouldn't even know this hidden sanctuary was here. Positioned on one of the highest points in town, the property captures breathtaking 360 degree views, giving it a real "castle on the hill" feel as the owners now prepare for retirement. As you walk through the front door, you're welcomed by a private, decent sized office, perfect for working from home or running a business. Head up the stairs to the middle level where the home truly opens up into light filled, open plan living areas and kitchen. From here, step out onto the sunny deck, ideal for relaxed breakfasts while taking in the elevated outlook. The kitchen enjoys beautiful views of its own and features impressive double ovens, ready for family gatherings and entertaining. The top level is dedicated to the master retreat, complete with ensuite, a private relaxation lounge, and its own viewing deck, your peaceful escape at the end of the day. On the lower level, you'll find three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom that's a charming blast from the past, along with a separate toilet and a good sized separate laundry. One of the larger bedrooms opens out to another deck and a secluded garden space, perfectly suited for small celebrations or quiet afternoons outdoors. The well maintained grounds are dotted with mature fruit trees, including lemons and limes, adding to the home's established, welcoming feel. Multi levelled, full of character, and filled with decades of memories, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home that has truly been loved, where your next chapter can begin.
