Last Listing description (February 2020)

Sitting proudly on a 732m2 block this delightful solid red brick home offering four bedrooms and one bathroom is just a stone's throw from all the lifestyle conveniences families want today.

Set well back and nestled behind mature landscaped gardens the property offers many of the lovely original features whilst being continuously updated over time providing an easy flow through the home. Parquetry timber floors, light filled spaces and a floor plan that offers multiple living areas with the fourth bedroom having the ability to be utilised as a work from home space or multipurpose area ideal, for young children to play.


The large covered rear deck overlooks a serene backyard offering paved, landscaped and grassed areas for everyone to enjoy. The well-established Chinese pistachio tree shades the backyard, the north facing aspect allows for warm winter sun and cool summer breezes to flow through.

There's a generous sized lock up garage and the separate timber shed for all those garden tools. Alternatively, this space could be turned into a great cubby house for the kids to enjoy hours of fun.

When it comes to education whatever ages and stages of schooling your children have reached you are spoilt for choice.
