Whether you're buying for the first time, upsizing for more space, or seeking a home that simply feels right, this residence on a corner allotment at the entrance to the highly-sought McKinlay Estate, stands out for all the right reasons. Thoughtfully updated and designed with everyday life in mind, it's a place where memories are made, milestones are celebrated, and routines flow with ease. Proudly presented by Ross Whiston and Andrew Pike of Ray White Gawler East, welcome to 2 McKinlay Drive, Hewett!
The elevated front entrance offers a gentle sense of presence, overlooking landscaped gardens that frame the home with quiet charm. Inside, hybrid flooring leads through thoughtfully connected living spaces, each with its own personality and purpose, designed to make everyday life feel easy and effortless.
Each of the four bedrooms has been thoughtfully planned to suit the rhythm of family life. The main bedroom features hybrid flooring, a stylishly updated ensuite, a well-designed walk-in robe, and a ceiling fan for year-round comfort. The second bedroom stands out with its own walk-in robe and timber floors, while the third and fourth bedrooms, also with timber floors and built-in cupboards, offer flexibility for growing kids, guests, or even a dedicated study.
Speaking of flexibility, the cleverly designed floorplan also offers an optional fifth bedroom should you wish to convert the front living space. Currently, this area serves as a warm and inviting lounge and dining zone, enhanced by bay windows, vaulted ceilings, and concertina doors that can be closed for quiet moments or opened for seamless flow.
Sunday pancakes sizzle on the stove and school lunches come together with ease in this home-cook's dream of a kitchen. The large island bench invites conversation while dinner simmers, and the 900mm Smeg oven is ready for everything from slow roasts to birthday cakes. Storage in abundance including soft-close pot drawers and cupboards keeps things organised, and the garden-view sink means you're never far from the action outside. Just behind, the butler's pantry keeps the mess out of sight, with a second sink, dishwasher, and open shelving - perfect for busy mornings and quiet baking afternoons alike.
Outside, the lifestyle continues. A paved, undercover entertaining area sets the scene for birthdays, barbecues, and long weekend lunches. Wander through to the sparkling salt-chlorinated pool, where a decked Bali hut offers the perfect spot to unwind while the kids splash away the summer. There's even room to grow your own veggies with established garden beds, plus a 6x3m shed for all your tools and toys.
Add in ducted evaporative cooling, ducted gas heating, solar panels, gas hot water, secure double carport with auto roller doors as well as an additional covered and gated third parking spot - and it's clear this home was made for easy family living.
And the location? It doesn't get much better with walking distance to Hewett primary, Gawler Central train station, Xavier College, or take a 5-minute drive into Gawler for a weekend coffee or quick shop. To top it off - easy access to the Northern Expressway makes your city or sea weekend commute just that bit smoother.
