Some homes have a little more personality than others, and this is certainly one of them! Over the years, this much-loved family home has undergone some impressive extensions and improvements, thoughtfully designed and carried out by its owner-builder, who took great pride in creating something a little different. The result is quite remarkable, with generous living areas, interesting architectural touches and a beautiful outlook across Anderson Park that's pretty hard to beat.
What makes this home so appealing is the way the living spaces have been created and connected. The generous step-down lounge is one of the standout additions, giving families that all-important second living area without feeling disconnected from the rest of the home. From here, the layout flows through to the main lounge, warmed by a cosy gas fire, and up to the formal dining area, where a cleverly designed raised ceiling with high-set windows brings in beautiful natural light and gives the whole area a wonderful feeling of height and space. Two heat pumps provide additional year-round comfort, while double glazing to the windows in both lounges is another welcome feature.
The kitchen is spacious, practical and offers loads of storage, giving you plenty of room to work in. But it's those beautiful windows framing the outlook across Anderson Park that really make it memorable. And it's not just the kitchen that enjoys this wonderful setting. Both lounges also look out across the park, giving you those gorgeous green views from all three spaces. Imagine cooking, relaxing with a coffee or entertaining friends while looking out across established trees and wide-open green spaces rather than straight into the neighbours' windows. It's an outlook you'll never get tired of.
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas, there's plenty of flexibility for family life. The master bedroom has its own ensuite, while the family bathroom features a wet-floor shower, with a separate toilet and laundry adding everyday convenience. Two of the bedrooms also have doors opening directly out to the rear garden, a lovely feature that brings the outdoors that little bit closer. There's also a conservatory, offering even more covered space to enjoy, whether it's a sunny spot to sit with a coffee, somewhere for the plants or simply another area to make your own.
Outside, you'll find a private rear deck and garden, garaging, good off-street parking and two solar panels on the roof.
But here's where this property really comes into its own. Anderson Park is practically your backyard! And not just any backyard. We're talking acres of beautiful established trees, open lawns, walking and cycling tracks, a fantastic playground and skatepark. The kids can kick a ball, ride their bikes, run around with the dogs and enjoy all that wonderful outdoor space without you having to spend your weekends mowing and maintaining it.
And the outlook is never quite the same from one day to the next! The sunsets here are something else, with the sky lighting up in an ever-changing display of beautiful colours. Then there's everything happening in the park itself. From Christmas parades, circuses and markets to organised runs and community events, there's always something going on throughout the year. Even on an ordinary day, there's plenty to watch, with people out walking their dogs, jogging, pushing prams or simply enjoying the park. It's a wonderful outlook that's full of life and activity, and there's something quite special about being able to sit back in the comfort of your own home and watch it all unfold.
Even better, take a short stroll across the park and you're at Greenmeadows Shopping Centre, with New World, cafés, eateries, a pharmacy and all those everyday essentials close at hand.
This is a home that could appeal to so many different buyers. A family wanting room to spread out, someone who appreciates a home with a bit of individuality, or perhaps those moving from a larger property or rural lifestyle who aren't quite ready to give up that wonderful feeling of space and greenery around them.
And while plenty of thought and care has gone into the home over the years, there's still scope to bring your own ideas, add your personal touches and further enhance its value over time.
A home with a story, plenty of space, some clever additions and a park outlook that really is something else.
Put this one on your watchlist. It's a property you need to walk through to fully appreciate!
