Set back from the road, there's a lovely sense of privacy when you arrive at 25A Ellis Street. You're right in the heart of Brightwater, yet the home feels tucked away in its own little pocket; peaceful, private and removed from the comings and goings beyond.
The current owners have made thoughtful updates along the way, giving the home a fresh, modern feel while keeping it comfortable and easy to live in. Huge windows draw in an incredible amount of natural light, and with double glazing and a heat pump, it's warm and inviting through the cooler months too.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area sits naturally at the centre of it all, flowing straight out to an impressively large kwila deck from the lounge. Bathed in sunshine, there's space here to properly spread out; long lunches around the table, a barbecue with friends, somewhere to stretch out with a book or simply leave the doors open and wander between inside and out as the day unfolds. Rather than somewhere saved for entertaining, this feels like an outdoor room you'll use all year round as part of everyday life.
Outside has been kept just as uncomplicated. Established landscaping and easy-care raised gardens bring greenery and interest without creating a long list of weekend jobs, while the fully fenced backyard gives kids and pets their own space to play. Generous parking leaves room for both the camper and the boat too.
For those who like to travel, there's a genuine lock-up-and-leave quality here. Pack up and head away for a weekend or a few weeks knowing you won't be coming home to acres of lawns and gardens demanding attention. Whether life is busy at home or you're at the stage where there's more time to get out and explore, it's a property that won't hold you back.
Then there's the shed, complete with a toilet and a separate, fully insulated room that gives you even more flexibility. Perhaps it's the work-from-home space you've been looking for, somewhere to disappear with a hobby or project, a games room, creative space or simply somewhere away from the main house to call your own. However you choose to use it, it's a useful extra that allows the property to adapt as your needs change.
That's part of what makes 25A Ellis Street so appealing. A young couple can start here, a family can grow into it, and later it could be somewhere to simplify life without giving up the extra space that still matters.
And while home feels nicely tucked away, village life is almost on the doorstep. The sports fields are directly across the road, with the school, shops, cafes and fuel stop all just a short walk away. Kids can head off to sport, you can wander down for a coffee, and many of those little everyday trips don't need to involve the car at all.
The owners have already set their sights on what comes next, so the decision to sell has been made. The deadline (USP) is 4pm, 15th September, but if this feels like the right home for you, there's no need to wait for the calendar; pre-deadline offers are welcomed and encouraged.
Light-filled, warm and wonderfully easy to live with, 25A Ellis Street offers that lovely balance of having what you need without having more than you want to look after. Add in the flexibility to adapt through different stages of life, and it's a home that simply makes sense for so many.
Come and experience it for yourself. Step inside, wander out onto that sun-soaked deck and imagine making it yours, because this could be the one worth moving early for.
Deadline Sale - Tuesday 15th September, 4pm. (Unless Sold Prior)
