A wide expanse of grassland studded with leafy trees and small herb and vegetable plots, just outside the back door; this is the kind of environment most people can only dream about.
The beautifully maintained and elegantly presented 4 bedroom home has been owned by the same contented people for the last 37 years, but now, with the children all gone and a new lifestyle beckoning, it is time to go.
Someone else will be fortunate enough to enjoy the airy rooms set around the central courtyard and enjoy the country outlook with the many species of birds and the privacy afforded by the surrounding trees and shrubs.
The house is entered through a lilac-lined pathway and the entry leads by the master bedroom on one side and formal living room on the other to the modern kitchen and adjoining family room on the central courtyard. The children's bedrooms are on a separate wing leading from the family room along the southern side of the courtyard.
At the southern end of the house, beyond the garages and quite separate from the house, is the wonderful music room. Complete with fireplace and tastefully furnished, this versatile room can be used as it was originally intended, or could be used as a large home office, studio or converted into a granny flat. The choice is yours.
The swimming pool is in good condition, but not used these days and is not the modern piece of luxury landscaping so common now. Instead, it is set out in the grounds among the trees and shrubs and evokes an earlier kind of lifestyle which included children running around between trees, throwing balls and then dashing back for another quick dip between games.
Approached via a private, winding driveway, and set on almost three quarters of an acre, the privacy and peace is unbeatable. Less than 12 kilometres from the city centre (as the crow flies), so much land and privacy is becoming a very rare luxury.
We invite you to come and inspect this very special home and fall in love with it just as the current owners did all those years ago.
