5 John St, Hillcrest is a 6 bedroom, 2 bathroom Townhouse with 2 parking spaces and was built in 2010. The property has a land size of 348m2 and floor size of 284m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in April 2020.
Behind its smooth rendered faade, 5 John Street reveals the pinnacle of high-comfort family living with living spaces on both levels - including a wired-for-sound home theatre - as many as 6 bedrooms, and enticing pool views from a party-ready alfresco entertaining patio.
Stepping inside through double doors, the tiled gallery-style entry hall is ideal for displaying artworks, tempting you towards a generous open-plan kitchen/living/dining hub and adjoining alfresco area at the back of the house - a subtle level shift bridged by a short flight of timber stairs.
The patio has an impressive BBQ station and is bookended by glass-paned stacker sliders, allowing it to be enclosed or opened fully to both the lounge and pool area, creating one almighty entertaining base. The kitchen boasts the best vantage point across the space, and has abundant storage, an island dining bar with a waterfall benchtop, modern appliances, and a discreet but extensive WIP.
Prepped for popcorn-filled movie nights, the home theatre is back down the hall, and there's a rumpus upstairs. The young ones are likely to claim the latter as it separates 4 of the top-floor beds from the streetside master suite and a cosy 6th bedroom beside it that could work as a nursery or study. While the kids get BIRs and share a bathroom, the master has a luxe WIR and a blissfully private ensuite with twin vanity, spa bath and shower.
Aside from the Mediterranean-blue mosaic-tiled swimming pool, there's little to manage outside the house, which makes total sense when you have an amazing reserve just down the street for the family to burn off energy kicking the footy or shooting hoops. With vibrant shopping hubs within an easy drive and the city only 10km away, this is the complete package!
