Picture yourself at home in this tidy 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom dwelling on Banksia Street. Built in 2008 and with only one owner, its steel-frame construction with aluminium cladding is very low-maintenance, yet offers scope for further enhancement.
Nestled amongst a pine grove and set in the heart of the North-end of the island, this 546m2 property captures all-day eastern sea-breezes. Youll appreciate the location, which is walking-distance to town, school and ferry, making it perfect for a growing family or commuting professionals.
Enter via the tiled multi-purpose room which flows seamlessly to the main house. In fact, it was meant to be a 4-bedroom residence, but with council constraints over septic, it was approved as 2-bedroom with a gym. This zone presents a great home-business opportunity, with power already connected and water nearby. Or, just enjoy the extra living space, with sliding doors to the front and year yards, creating a wonderful breezeway.
Guests can use the front door (positioned in the middle of the home) with the open-plan living, kitchen and dining greeting them on arrival. By design, it separates the two sleeping wings: the main bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-thru-robe is to the right; while the second bedroom, bathroom and guest toilet are to the left.
What strikes you upon entry, are the high ceilings; light-filled rooms; and overall sense of peace. Ceiling fans stir overhead and the large-format white tiles repeat throughout, creating a sea of calmness. Theres a bonus air-conditioner in the living space, for those hotter summer days when you want to cool down, fast.
The white shaker-style timber kitchen has an electric cooktop and oven; timber benchtops; pantry; double-sink overlooking the lawn; and a dining area with access to the backyard. The large laundry is tucked away and has a wash-tub and extra storage. Adjacent, is the separate toilet, right next to the family bathroom with full-bath and shower over, plus a convenient linen-cupboard for your towels.
The wet areas are soothing with gum-leaf/sage walls, complemented by the white fixtures and tiles. The rest of the home uses a neutral palette of soft eggshell-white walls and refreshing sea-foam trims. The exterior cladding is a vanilla-milkshake tone and blends well with the natural surroundings and lush lawn.
A covered outdoor patio with cement floor, is accessed from the sliding-doors off the rumpus/multi-purpose room and extends the living even moregreat for family parties and wet-weather entertaining. Inside, a wide hallway connects it all to the living, via bedroom-two and the bathroom. This makes for a terrific kid-zone, while the parents retreat on the other side, offers privacy and complete serenity.
