Raise kids, send them to wonderful schools, and stay for decades through all of life’s journeys in this very practical and modern 4 bedroom 4 bathroom DLUG brick home, on 917sqm approx, and bought new in 2002. It has a charming slightly elevated streetscape outlook to leafy mature trees. The 4th bedroom was extended 5 years ago into a master suite with a large bay window that allows for privacy while framing a lovely rear garden with ponds and colourful trees such as crepe myrtle, jacaranda and peach. An internal elevator was also added, accommodating 3 standing, or a wheelchair and 1 standing, has an outside line telephone, and gives direct access from the master suite to the large breakfast and family room and kitchen. Ducted air-conditioning keeps the house comfortable all year around.

Entry to the house is through double leadlight doors and to left is a good home office. The bedrooms, 2 ensuites and a main bathroom with separate wc are upstairs, as is a sitting/music space with a balcony overlooking a serene streetscape. This space could easily be made into a 5th bedroom. In fact there are 6 dining areas making the house a great entertainer with the kitchen as the central hearth of the home. The open plan formal dining room and lounge room are accessible from the kitchen and an enormous sunroom, which then opens to a spacious yet cosy outdoor dining/BBQ area. This rear patio then wraps around the living room and opens out to another area for further outdoor dining (or tricycle riding!) as well as the clothesline, and then back into the house via a large laundry and the 4th bathroom. The internal laundry provides internal access to an auto DLUG, and leads to the breakfast room and kitchen. Fabulous emerald pearl granite benches and breakfast bar and S/S appliances adorn the gas kitchen. There is excellent storage throughout including in the kitchen cabinetry and pantry, in the twin garden sheds, a room under the stairs, 3 built-ins in the master suite, walk-in wardrobe in the original master bedroom, built-ins in the two double bedrooms. Additional attractions include the security system (Clipsal infrascan/phone and NESS D8 alarm), an abundance of dimmable ceiling downlights, and sensor lights on the periphery.
