"It's just too big," he said - and instantly there is a chance for a big, happy family (of any ages) to move right in. With big strong bones this timeless, solidly built 1970s home offers extremely generous living spaces that flow out to a sunny covered patio and expansive deck. The floor covers have been upgraded and the glossy white, modern kitchen - striking with black subway tiles and white stone benchtops - hints at further potential for creating a statement home.

Upstairs offers three large bedrooms, a family bathroom with separate toilet, and plenty of storage. Internal stairs lead down to a practical lower level with laundry, a huge rumpus room and two extra rooms ideal for working from home, or teenagers.

Outside, covered entertaining is effortless and includes a spa, pizza oven, built-in barbecue and gas hob for a truly family-friendly outdoor hub. Set on 2,806sqm, there's plenty of lawn for ball games or maybe even future development, with pretty outlooks all around.

Positioned on the town boundary with large-lot living, the property still connects to town water and a public septic system. Comfort is assured year-round with two HRV systems and the choice of underfloor heating which retains so well within the concrete slab between levels. If you want peaceful, private living with abundant indoor and outdoor space - then this town-side home with a rural feel is a must-see.
