Situated in one of Toormina’s premier streets, where properties are tightly-held by long time residents, this spacious double-storey home offers ideal family and guest living, along with multiple garaging and shed options.

Ideal for larger families or those downsizing from rural residential who still want room to breathe, the home is set back from the street on a generous and level 982 sqm block, with a parking area to the left of the driveway and a double carport in front of the double lock up garage.

People with boats, trailers, camper trailers and vans will be spoilt for choice, as there’s also easy, level side access through to a 9 metre by 3 metre concrete slab and a 7metre x 4.5 metre single bay shed in the back yard. It’s great to have options!

Set well back from the street, the front door opens into a spacious entry hall, and there are plenty of storage areas both under the stairs and with the double utility cupboard nearest the garage. At present the oversized garage (which is a generous 10 x 8m and has a single remote) is being used for a home-based business but the current owners will be packing this up and taking it with them.

Adjacent to the downstairs laundry there’s a full bathroom with sage wall tiles and a shower over a deep bath, which services the adjoining guest accommodation on this floor. This area will really surprise you, it’s more like a self-contained flat in its own right, and a family friend previously lived on this floor comfortably for a few months.

In this zone a spacious living area flows into a kitchenette, and there’s a separate king-sized bedroom with excellent built in storage as well. This area is ideal for extended family members who need accommodation on street level, visiting family or friends or perhaps as the ultimate teen or uni student pad. It could also be used as a massive additional living space and bedroom for the larger clan who usually finds it difficult to buy a home big enough to suit.

Upstairs you’ll be surprised at how spacious the accommodation is, with a floor plan designed for family living. A frosted glass window floods light into the dining space off the kitchen, without compromising privacy, highlighting the contemporary blue/grey wall and complementing cabinetry in the kitchen – modern updates by the current owners.

The kitchen’s tiled blue floor, white upright cooker and large corner pantry are all features, as is the large family fridge, which was picked for the space and is included in the sale. There’s plenty of room in the dining area for both a sofa to sit and chat with friends while cooking, as well as a good sized dining suite.

To the right of this area the living room is really spacious – your oversized furniture pieces will definitely fit here or you could split this space into casual and formal zones if you prefer. A reverse cycle A/C unit also helps on those odd summer days when the cooling breezes need a hand! A sliding door leads out to the front verandah, allowing light and air to flood into the living space, as well as providing a bird’s eye view out to the wide, sweeping street, while a sliding door at the rear of this area leads to a big covered back deck where the owners have previously hosted more than one large barbecue or party. Awnings off the verandah provide protection from the sun in the warmer months and can be retracted to allow warmth in during winter.

Another benefit with the alfresco entertaining is the fact the verandah has direct access into the main bathroom in the home, perfect for guest use without accessing the bedroom wing.

Talking about bedrooms there are three good sized bedrooms with ceiling fans upstairs, including the master with two double built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower. The family bathroom services both the other bedrooms, which also have great storage and are positioned for easy access to the white bathroom. Modern updates, such as new vanities and fresh paint have really lifted the home, while maintaining the positive original features.

Out in the yard there is still plenty of garden and lawn space: despite the single garage/workshop, two big garden sheds and a previous dog kennel (which could possibly be converted for chooks). In fact the backyard is like a private garden sanctuary with its paved area to the clothes line and low maintenance plantings. Privacy needs are well taken care of here and yes, there’s plenty of room for the kids play equipment or perhaps even a pool.

In terms of attention to detail these practical owners have also been meticulous – unseen work such as drainage has been well attended to, there are multiple fan lights, the home has solar power, the NBN is also connected and there are TV points in each of the bedrooms. The house also features double brick and there’s roof insulation.

A rental appraisal has been conducted at this property with a rental estimate of approximately $510 to $530 per week.

Perhaps best of all is the home’s location – leave the car at home and walk the kids down to the playing fields, or ask them to pick up some milk for you at the shops nearby, this is an ideal street which has also maintained its tranquil feel.
