40 Tidworth Cres, Colonel Light Gardens is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1926. The property has a land size of 1221m2 and floor size of 266m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in October 2021.
In true Colonel Light Gardens fashion, this C1926 solar-powered bungalow on a wide parcel of some 1220sqm has been tightly held by the one family for the last 21 years, watching a new gen-eration grow into - and never out of - this substantial abode with more than meets the eye
Bundles of natural light bounce around the original home headlined by those universally adored character home hallmarks: polished pine floorboards, beautifully embellished ceilings, prominent architraves and generous rooms.
Those rooms include three bedrooms and a formal lounge room which could double up as another bedroom in a home that was extended along the journey - and could be extended once more into a boundless rear yard with room for a pool.
Keep moving to discover a study nook perfect for 'home working' kids and a designated dining zone, both conveniently placed next to a solid timber kitchen with a 900mm gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher and breakfast bar.
The kitchen looks out to an expansive rear family room with easy-care tile floors and a big view to the lush backyard and its alfresco patio/pavilion - the perfect place to watch the sun rise over the eastern hills.
Carpeted and lined, the converted garage could be anything from a games room to a home gym; just more proof that this gorgeous home covers every base, no matter what stage of life you're in.
But you didn't see this coming
Did you notice those two driveways? One services the main home. The other an attached self-contained apartment with its own external entry point, carport, large bedroom, living zone, bath-room and a kitchen.
Suddenly, you have the option to supplement your income with a long-term rental or AirBnB, run your business from home, or make your independence-craving teen very, very happy.
