Now, I'm not about to pull out the Oxford Dictionary but I will tell you that this property is quite literally the definition of an ideal family home in every meaning of the term!
With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an abundance of living spaces, say goodbye to living in each other's proverbial pockets and hello to space, space, and MORE space for the kids, the dog, the home office, and the grandparents to boot! Not to mention an abundance of space for YOU … to enjoy exactly the lifestyle you have been chasing.
Families who love to entertain will appreciate the seamless flow from the spacious living room to the open plan dining / family / kitchen right out to the wraparound yard with lawn, covered patio, and enormous swimming pool … if you fancy the kids as the next Olympic hopeful, this is absolutely where they should get started on training! And once they have worn themselves out in the pool, the huge kitchen is practically begging to be used to whip up a feast with large gas cooktop and enough counter space to have the whole family cooking at once - or a team of caterers if you're too busy being the host with the most!
Meanwhile retreat upstairs to the bedrooms for a little peace and quiet and enjoy the original hardwood floors throughout, as well as leafy vistas and city glimpses. The property's position near the top of the hill guarantees very green views and cool breezes and all within easy walking distance of the catchment primary school Kenmore South and just minutes to shops, parkland and public transport.
Family homes of this size that offer so much flexibility to suit your needs are both in very high demand and do not often come to market, so don't delay!
