Offered to the market for the first time in 50 years, this private sanctuary is truly a rare find.

Set back from the road and surrounded by lush gardens and birdlife, this spacious home is ideal for growing families, with potential to add value and make it your own. Originally a 1950s stucco home, the interior was gutted and remodelled in 1981, with the master bedroom added in the 1990s.

Step through the front door into the welcoming entryway, or to the right, you'll find a separate access to the home via the laundry and mudroom. This practical space offers plenty of storage and is perfect for rainy days and busy family life.

Spacious and filled with natural light, the large open plan lounge and dining room flow effortlessly to the deck, the ideal spot for relaxing and entertaining. At the heart of the home is the kitchen and family room, with space for dining and everyday living. Opening out to the deck, enjoy breakfast and coffee here before the school and workday begins.

The generous master bedroom has large picture windows, a skylight and with the added bonus of a study nook and space for lounge chairs, it becomes a private and peaceful parents' retreat.

The layout of the home is harmonious for parents and children alike. The master bedroom, office and main bathroom are positioned at one end of the house, while the other wing features three large bedrooms and a second bathroom with a separate toilet.

This north-facing sun trap is a place of true tranquillity. Birdsong fills the air, which blends with the joyful sounds of children playing on the sheltered lawn - all easily overseen from the kitchen window or while enjoying sundowners on the deck.

Originally owned by Duncan and Davies, who subdivided their propagation land for their horticulturists to live on, the property is home to many rare plants and trees within the "Significant Natural" zoned portion of the sizeable section. Despite its richness, the grounds are surprisingly easy to care for.

A double garage, along with additional storage or a playroom at the back, adds flexibility and convenience, while easy access to Westown shops and schools make this a super location to be based.
