In Almost 40 years Nothing's Changed

It was the 1970's petrol was in short supply and Carless Days were the law. Then you had to choose one day of the week when your car never left home and that's exactly when our vendors bought this home. It appealed because although it was still a lifestyle property they could walk into Stoke, their kids could walk to and from school and they were close to everything that a family would need.

Today, nothing has changed. You still need a second mortgage to fill the tank and this exceptional home is just as close to everything that matters for a growing family - and still easy walking distance.

Some of the other things that haven't changed are the absolute privacy and tranquillity this home offers - even today. The views are sensational and there's no risk of them ever being built out in the future.

The current owners raised a family here and they're all created a multitude of very happy memories. But the kids have grown and now its someone?s else?s turn to enjoy it.

However, there have been massive changes to the property over the last 40 years, and the home itself is much larger - now its 338 square metre and that doesn't count garaging. Large enough to accommodate a new growing family - kids who want 5.5 hectares to run around in, lots of bedrooms, an office, 3 bathrooms, a workshop, undercover parking for 4 vehicles, off street parking for another 6 at least, loads of mature trees and generous indoor and outdoor entertaining, including a petanque court, a gazebo with a cedar shake roof and built-in seating and a fully compliant in-ground swimming pool, surrounded by a spacious deck.

Exterior construction combines hand-split cedar shake walls with aluminium joinery, new guttering and spouting and a matching newly painted Coloursteel roof. The decks were resurfaced in 2007.

This is a lovely, light and airy home, with sliding glass doors in the open- plan living room and dining area, family room, breakfast area and master bedroom combining to open up to the house to cooling breezes in summer to create a spacious environment for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining.

Your kids may love you dearly if this became your new home.
