Radiating timeless charm, this modernised 1950s weatherboard homestead is privately nestled within lush tropical foliage on a colossal 1,166sqm (approx.) estate. Set at the end of a long, manicured driveway, the property unfolds as an idyllic, resort-like sanctuary complete with a sparkling pool and lawns.
Recycled bricks ground the timber stairway leading to wide verandas, creating an elegant colonial-inspired aesthetic. Inside, light-filled high-stud interiors are beautifully curated in signature white-on-white, with dreamy drapes, ceiling fans, and soft ambient lighting. The formal living and dining areas feature plush carpet, sunny window seating, and multiple French doors opening to a substantial pergola-covered terrace, a seamless connection to the outdoors.
Newly polished oak floors flow through the family room, where bifold windows open wide to the garden, bathing the space in light and greenery. The kitchen is a study in understated functionality, boasting engineered stone benchtops, Bosch stainless steel appliances including oven and hob with glass splashback, a prep sink, and generous cabinetry.
Four double bedrooms provide versatility for family living, including a serene upstairs master suite with a relaxed retreat feel. Two refined bathrooms, one a dual-access ensuite, feature frameless glass showers, vessel basins, and contemporary chrome fittings. The home's gas central heating and north-facing orientation ensure warmth and sunshine throughout the seasons.
Outdoors, the in-ground pool is set within a private, elevated enclave surrounded by established tropical and exotic gardens, an entertainer's paradise and botanical wonderland.
Zoned for Churchill Park School, St Ignatius, and Glendowie College, and just a short stroll to St Heliers Village and beach, this is a rare opportunity to secure a cherished homestead offering a relaxed coastal lifestyle in parkland seclusion.
