Known locally for the iconic sago palm that sides its driveway, this comfortable and spacious five-bedroom family home has been cherished by the one family for decades.
Ideally positioned just one house away from the Mawson sportsground precinct and framed on three sides by extensive gardens spread over its 1409m2 block, it is a home that is responsive to seasons and benefits from the light-giving northerly aspect to the rear.
Thoughtful plantings of camellias, gardenias, hydrangeas and azaleas gently envelop the home, providing privacy and little sense of neighbours. A layering of fruit trees -lemons, plums, peaches, cherries, figs, grapefruit, nectarines and mandarin – reward with edible harvests.
The front section of the home manifests as layered formal zones, both comfortable and regal, while the rear gives over to day-to-day living with an expansive kitchen and living space that opens to the covered main alfresco space. A second outdoor relaxation zone on the front terrace rewards with epic sunsets.
Beyond the living area is a peacefully positioned master bedroom. With a separate bathroom and a private sunroom or study nearby, this whole wing could be turned into a true parents' retreat.
A second master exists in the easterly bedroom wing. Boasting an ensuite and built-in wardrobes, it extends the floorplan's versatility. Three additional bedrooms are serviced by a neat family bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles.
An exceptional opportunity exudes immense potential in a prime location, and it would be a mistake to overlook it.
