A private placement in a prized pocket of Pearce sets the scene for 13 Sheehan Street where the family can live, work and play in a serene environment punctuated by towering trees.

Once you've admired the manicured garden and stepped inside via the sweeping front verandah with delicately fragrant Lady Banks' Rose, you will immediately appreciate the ambience that fills the entry foyer and the beauty of the parquetry floors, double-sash windows, and pelmet top curtains in the formal lounge. The spaciousness continues with a defined dining room for celebratory dinners with family and/or friends. Spanning out from here, french doors take you to the sunroom with unobstructed floor-to-ceiling views of the back yard with glass walls and a glass roof. An exit from here takes you down into a stunning landscaped garden with tall trees, gorgeous established plants (including hedges) meandering garden paths, rustic brick patios, a water feature, and expansive grassed areas for kids and/or pets to play.

Back inside and with the kitchen firmly established as the heart of the home, you will not be disappointed with the enormity of this one. Its streamlined design features laminate benches, quality stainless steel Bosch appliances, tiled splashbacks, a wealth of cupboards and drawers, a corner pantry, a significant breakfast bar and two windows where you can take in the views of the back yard with a drink in hand while preparing or cleaning up after meals.

Certain to satisfy the family, all the bedrooms are robed, with the four upstairs accompanied by the main bathroom and an ensuite. Desirably placed on the ground level a playroom/retreat/additional living area, and the option of a fifth bedroom or study, provide another dimension of living space.

Copious amounts of storage (including under house storage), ducted gas heating, ducted evaporative cooling, an oversized garage with workshop bench space, a carport and generous off-street parking, two water tanks, a garden shed, and gated side access are valued additions to a home that could not be better placed.

So make a move and come and discover why the current owners have stayed for 27 years in this leafy property.
