The north facing property, within the highly sought after Brookfield Showground precinct, has a brick home that flows out to a pool, tennis court and shady paddocks. There are only a handful of properties this close to the showground with north facing land. The property's rich, dark alluvial soil grows abundant open pasture. Shade trees, gardens and lawns thrive. Take in the beauty of the setting as you enter through the gates and travel along the driveway through the front paddock passing the dam, crossing the small bridge, and looping around the tennis court to arrive at the home.The welcoming, one level home, built in 1980, is encircled by glass doors and windows that bring in breezes and rural views to every room. The home is designed for indoor-outdoor living. From the home, you see across the paddocks to Ballards Hill and to the mountains on the horizon. The front verandah runs the length of the home and is the place to soak up winter sunshine and fresh air filled with the birdsong of king parrots, cockatoos, kookaburras, and rosellas.Step through the front door into a tiled entrance hall with places for hats, boots, Driza-Bone jackets, and tennis racquets. The recently renovated kitchen invites you in. Take a seat in front of the open fireplace at the table ideal for cosy breakfasts in winter and family meals all year round. The extra wide Smeg oven, central island bench and ample storage space keep the cook happy.
