Overview

Soak Up the Sunshine

Tucked away in a peaceful, leafy setting, this warm and inviting five-bedroom home offers a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining conveniently close to the CBD. Bathed in sunshine, with a lovely northwest aspect and a lush green outlook across the treetops, it feels like a retreat from the everyday, with space for families, guests and working from home. Key features include: - Five bedrooms or flexible living spaces - four bedrooms plus a separate rumpus room, ideal as a fifth bedroom, home office, second living area or games room. - Two bathrooms, including a private master suite with ensuite, elevated views and a charming timber chapel ceiling with exposed rafters. - Comfort throughout the seasons, with insulation, a vapour barrier, gutter guards and double glazing. - Premium zoned ducted heating on the ground floor, allowing you to independently control the temperature in each room for personalised, year-round comfort. - A superbly appointed kitchen featuring stainless-steel benchtops and a garden window, thoughtfully designed by a previous owner who was a chef. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas connect seamlessly with the outdoors. - Northwest-facing decks and terraced lawns that capture the afternoon sun, creating a lovely setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing among the greenery. - A generous 703sqm native bush setting, with leafy views across the treetops to the stunning expanse of Otari-Wilton's Bush and its wonderful walking tracks just a short stroll away. - Peaceful cul-de-sac position, set back from the road with off-street parking for two cars and handy under-house storage. - Convenient city access, approximately a 40-minute walk to The Terrace and minutes from two bus stops servicing four different routes. - Well positioned for schooling, approximately 10 minutes on foot to Otari School and 15 minutes to Wadestown School, with access to sought-after secondary school options. - Added bedroom comfort, with new blackout thermal blinds in the ground-floor bedrooms. Combining sunshine, warmth and a wonderful connection to nature, this is a home that offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful bush retreat with the convenience of the city close at hand. With flexible spaces, excellent heating and room to grow, it's a lovely place to raise a family, work from home and enjoy a little more space to breathe.
