In December 2020, a young couple, newly married and brimming with hope for the future, found their dream home. It was love at first sight, and with a shared background of family builders, they saw the potential to make this house truly their own. This single-level gem, nestled on a flat block with a spacious and private backyard, promised a perfect blank canvas for their plans to build a life together.
With a family-friendly layout, the inviting open plan living and dining quickly became the heart of their daily life, where they could unwind after work or host gatherings with loved ones. Down the hall, three cosy bedrooms and a central bathroom, ensured comfort and convenience for their growing family, with the master bedroom providing a tranquil retreat, with a walk-through wardrobe, ensuite and serene garden views.
Blending comfort, convenience, and character, the home is fit throughout with wood look flooring and large double-glazed windows, decorated with a mixture of block-out roller blinds and Roman blinds, and three Daikin reverse cycle A/C units ensuring comfort throughout each season. Pouring love and dedication into their family home, the property has been meticulously maintained, with recent updates including freshly painted interiors and exteriors, and restored and repainted roofing.
As the years passed, their vision for the backyard came to life. What started as a dream transformed into a vibrant outdoor entertainer’s paradise, complete with an outdoor kitchen featuring an integrated pizza oven, a BBQ with gas and power connections, and a fire pit that became the gathering spot for many joyful evenings. Their beloved veggie patch provided fresh herbs for their homemade pizzas, while the secure backyard provided a safe space for their kids to roam free and play with friends, making this space a true haven for their young family.
Living in such a safe and quiet neighbourhood was a blessing they never took for granted. The convenience of nearby amenities, such as the light rail and the local Gang Gang café, allowed them to enjoy a leisurely lifestyle. Weekend bike rides to Mount Majura, morning walks to Yowani for a round of golf, and scootering to Braddon for a night out became cherished routines. Adding to their convenience, their love for coastal escapes was easily fulfilled with quick access to the highway, making weekend getaways a breeze.
This home wasn’t just their first purchase as a couple, it was the backdrop to their life as a growing family. From the daily joys and challenges of parenthood to hosting loved ones for special celebrations and milestones, this home witnessed it all. As the homeowners prepare to embrace their next chapter, their decision to say goodbye is bittersweet, yet, they do so with confidence that the next fortunate owner will create their own treasured memories here. This home offers a sanctuary where life’s most precious moments unfold, where dreams are nurtured and memories are made – where your life’s next chapter awaits.
