Elmslea Estate has grown into itself…leafy trees shade the quiet streets and big stately homes sit behind established gardens. McCusker Drive rises upward, toward the rolling hills that make this little pocket of the world so famous. No.4 regal behind deep gardens, a trio of weeping cherries, planted when each child was born are now stately and glorious. There is so much space here, both inside and out. Generous proportions deliver a choice of three social spaces, all of them opening via glass sliders to embrace the perfect northern light and the palatial gardens.
This well-tended and much loved four-bedder, serves up a warm country welcome from the get-go. The form channelling the classic federation style, with its peaked roof, formal portico and architectural flourishes. Beautiful plantings edge the garden path that ushers to the front door, with its twin sidelights. To one side a broad driveway delivers you to a double garage with the convenience of internal access.
Within easy-care ceramic flooring stretches underfoot, combining with brand new carpet within the front living area and all four bedrooms. We love the pops of colour, from the ochre yellow within the formal living space to the Tuscany red within the open plan kitchen dining and living.
The kitchen is big and inviting, there is a walk-in-pantry and a curving peninsula providing a spot for the family to gather. The mood is convivial and airy, informed by the presence of the calming landscape. Think easy family meals, conversations flowing, an arrangement of comfy lounges, open drift to a third living area with a cosy slow combustion fireplace. It is easy to imagine life unfolding, in-tune with the seasons. And it is easy to envision epic celebrations taking place within the enclosed and sheltered patio, a feeling of floating amidst a sea of verdant green.
The master bedroom is accommodatingly big, welcomes afternoon light via large windows and serves up his and her built-in-robes. You can see the twinkle of silver birches form the window and there is an easy merge to a large, renovated ensuite – soft grey floors, crisp white vanity, excellent storage and a big walk-in-rain shower. The southern side of the home is given over the three additional spacious bedrooms, all with built-in-robes and a big family bathroom, with a tub and a separate toilet.
Paths travel past soft lawn, clipped hedging, grand shady trees and all around the presence of the surrounding countryside. This is a big block with lots of shady nooks for the kids to explore. There is a dedicated vegetable garden and a second double garage, readily accessible that sits deep within the block. Underpinning it is a tranquil country lifestyle with great community and oh so restful vibes. You can walk into the Village from here, along pathways that cut through parkland, barbecue huts and across the timber bridge that spans the small creek.
Grab a great coffee from Eric’s Food Van, peruse antiques at The Malbon or meet friends for brunch at The Gathering. Perhaps an afternoon drink on the Veranda of the historic Top Pub or dinner out at The George. Bungendore is a thriving historic town, where local businesses and artisans are championed, think homewares from Sage Natural Living and hand crafted jewellery from Gallery X. It is no wonder this little town was named Australia’s Best Small Tourism Town for 2025. Throw in a fabulous IGA, local pre and primary school, a forthcoming high school and you have everything you need.
