5 McIlraith Street, Darfield, Selwyn

Incredibly spacious, superbly located

Set on a tree-lined street just around the corner from central Darfield, this fantastic home has everything you need (and more). Built on a huge 1,012sqm section and boasting unbeatable outdoor areas, this gem gets top marks all round.

Inside you'll find three generous sized bedrooms, an office/study area, a well-appointed family bathroom and separate toilet, plus a separate laundry with abundant storage and new carpet in the living areas and the hallway. The light and airy open plan living/dining area and the updated kitchen suits family life perfectly. The lounge area boasts a wood burner (with wetback) plus doors out onto the patio, while the dining room opens out onto a sunny BBQ deck that overlooks the garden - the perfect spot to dine al fresco in the summer. Completing the appeal and ensuring you stay warm in winter, there's double glazing, ceiling and floor insulation, plus a heat transfer system.

Outside, the substantial fully fenced grounds don't just get great sun, they also offer an outdoor space for every occasion, including a large patio, a side BBQ deck, and gorgeous landscaped gardens with park-like outlooks. The single garage comes complete with a workshop, which is perfect for storage and weekend hobbies. While above the garage there's a generous games/rumpus room with a chippie and a kitchenette, plus sliding doors out onto a balcony.

Located less than a kilometre away from the shops, services and amenities of Darfield, this property is easy rural living at its best. Older kids can get themselves to and from school with no hassle, while those with younger kids can easily nip to the shops or integrate with the friendly local community over coffee at one of the cafes.

A real labour of love for our current owners, they have thoroughly enjoyed their time in this home, but as their next project beckons, this wonderful family home comes to the market. To see it for yourself, give us a call today.
