This large open living three bedroom split level home, on a quiet Duffy Street, is generous in every aspect. It features a huge lounge, a large dining space right by the kitchen, and a generous family area just next door. The bedrooms are also large and two of them have sliding doors with direct access to the low maintenance billabong swimming pool and outdoor lounge area.
Enter the home through a gate into a private, covered courtyard beside the enclosed garage (no need to get wet while you unload the shopping!). You'll forget to notice the very large storage room which is perfect for all that hobby stuff or for your home gym, on your left as you step inside because huge windows and glass bi-fold sliding doors entice you into the lounge and out to the instantly attractive pool which is set around with lush foliage. Beyond the pool you can see a pergola perfect for an outdoor setting. It just lends itself to imagining long summer evenings having a quiet drink, perhaps a family BBQ, or evening by the fire pit.
In the lounge there are built in shelves ready for you to fill with personal belongings to turn this house instantly into a home. The lounge is very generous in size and well lit by expansive windows and downlights which are featured throughout the home. Even if your tastes run to big, lazy lounge suites, they'll have no problem fitting in here.
The sense of open-plan living blossoms as you turn up the 3 stairs to the upper level. You move from carpet to wooden parquetry flooring and on a sunny day, the room is bright with natural light from the skylight overhead. From the family room, which also has built in cabinets, you can see down to the lounge, into the dining area, and down the hall.
The kitchen is in good condition with decent storage and allows for a new owner to either renovate it in the future to their own taste if they choose to, or settle in with the current set up that includes a handy kitchen island with further storage. The kitchen is centrally located and overlooks the large open living space and down towards the outdoor pool.
Accommodation comprises a huge bedroom overlooking the beautiful pool (with sliding doors and its own staircase down), another big room with the same style of private pool access, and the main bedroom with ensuite is privately positioned at the other end of the bedroom wing. All bedrooms come with generous and well appointed built-in mirrored wardrobes.
With such large open living areas, there is plenty of room for the option to work from home, and even enclose a fourth bedroom if desirable.
The main bathroom and the ensuite have been renovated and are bright and clean. Like all the rooms in this home, they are on the large side. A separate laundry has its own door to the tidy side strip of the house where the retractable washing line is readily accessible. The laundry also has built in storage for your convenience.
