Tucked away in a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, 51 Clemow's Lane is a home that puts family living and entertaining firmly at the centre of the picture.
The real magic is outside. An established tropical garden creates a private backdrop for a superb covered entertaining area, complete with lounge and dining spaces, fantastic lighting and outdoor heaters. It is designed to work all year round, but come summer, this is where you will want to be - barbecue going, friends around the table and the kids making the most of the pool.
And then there is the pool and spa. Surrounded by established planting, it feels less like a backyard and more like your own private resort.
Inside, the generous open-plan kitchen and dining area connects effortlessly with the outdoors, while the large, cosy lounge provides a comfortable retreat when the weather turns. Think family movie nights, watching the footy with mates or simply having space to spread out.
The split-level layout works particularly well for families, with a private master retreat and workspace upstairs, while the remaining bedrooms and living spaces provide room for everyone else.
Set beside a reserve, the outlook adds another dimension. Open green space, established trees, fruit trees, bush and abundant birdlife create a peaceful backdrop that feels surprisingly removed from the convenience of Albany.
And the location is hard to beat. Excellent schooling, Massey University, Westfield Albany, Albany Mega Centre, Stadium and pools are all within easy reach.
Then there is Clemow's Orchard itself where you can pick apples and plums, enjoy the facilities including the private tennis, basketball and pétanque courts, and a book exchange adding another layer to this family-friendly community.
This is more than a house with a pool. It is a home built around how families actually want to live - with space, privacy, entertaining, recreation and a little bit of nature right next door.
51 Clemow's Lane - come and experience the lifestyle for yourself.
