Family living in a coveted cul-de-sac

Set in a quiet, tightly held cul-de-sac where neighbours linger and children still play in the street, this is a lifestyle address with the best of the city just moments away. The home effortlessly balances timeless character with high-functioning family finesse - all delivered through extensive renovations, transforming it into a modern-day showstopper.

Step through the front door and you're met with an extra-wide hallway that sets the tone - clean lines, natural light, and a quiet confidence that carries through the entire home. A space that feels considered from the moment you arrive, with enough space to comfortably double as a child-friendly play zone. The home then opens to a warm and welcoming interior where quality flooring, layered finishes, and outdoor flow highlight the home's attention to detail. Honouring its heritage the home features high stud ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, and bay windows - packed with charm yet polished for today.

At the heart, a designer kitchen anchors the open plan living and dining zone. With engineered stone surfaces, an oversized island, and clever storage, it's a space that's equal parts form and function. Stacker doors extend this zone seamlessly to a fully covered, North-facing deck - perfect for relaxed family BBQ's or hosting friends into the evening. A second, more private outdoor area offers a quiet retreat, tucked off the main living space.

Four bedrooms offer flexibility for families or professionals, including a master with ensuite. The hero family bathroom brings boutique luxury with a freestanding bath, fully tiled shower, and underfloor heating - also featured in the ensuite, delivering everyday indulgence. Cleverly concealed in the hallway, a European laundry maximises space without compromising style, keeping everyday essentials neatly stored away and easily accessible. Modern comforts include partial aluminium double glazing, a heat pump, wall panel heaters, gas infinity system, and ceiling and underfloor insulation for year-round warmth and efficiency.

Outside, low-maintenance gardens surround the home with mature olive trees and soft, strategic landscaping that creates privacy and natural green boundaries - perfect for relaxed living without the upkeep. An additional glasshouse space outside can be used for a range of options, storage, home gym or gardener's domain.

Perfectly positioned for families prioritising quality education, the home is zoned for excellent schools. Just moments from your doorstep, you'll find local favourite Proof & Stock for your morning ritual (400m), the scenic Coastal Walkway for daily strolls (750m), the Kawaroa playground ideal for family outings (1.2km), and the CBD (1.4km) - with the best of the neighbourhood right on your doorstep, convenience and lifestyle go hand in hand.
