Is it well and truly time for that affordable tree change? The gorgeous little village of Mt Victoria, Blackheath’s laidback cousin, is certainly the place to look.
Not often do you come across the rare opportunity to purchase a huge block, a comfortable 4 bedroom home and a substantial shed all in one parcel. This one ticks the wonderland wish-list for an active family looking for a time to grow in space and freedom – there’s tons of room for outdoor activities, entertaining, plus ample capacity for pets, chooks and growing food. (There’s even an outdoor spa for those aching muscles after a long day of activity!). The garden boasts productive vegetable beds, a magnificent standard bay and many established fruit and nut trees, including pear, nashi, plum, hazelnuts and mulberry. With only two neighbors, (also on large blocks), and with bushland nearby, there’s room to breathe. Add to that the fantastically versatile space in an enormous, light-filled, 16 x 9m shed (with 3-phase power), lots of things are possible for those with an enterprising eye. A huge plus is that it’s all close to the national park (with stunning walks, trails and abundant wildlife on the doorstep) and within coo-ee of Mt Victoria village, (only a 1km walk to the railway station, espresso fix, deli and the latest 3D movie at Mt Vic Flicks!).
The home is double story – two bedrooms and the comfortable, woodfire-warmed, living, dining and kitchen areas are downstairs. Upstairs there are another two bedrooms, a study, a bathroom, and a living room that’s filled with sunshine, (perfect for either the kids to have their own space or as a parent’s retreat). For relaxing and entertaining outdoors there’s lots of choice between the lovely sunny or shaded verandas and patios (to follow the sun or shelter) around the house, flowing out from the kitchen and dining room. A long, generously wide driveway allows easy access to the shed and back garden, and there is the convenience of a carport directly adjacent to the house. The garden is well established with many mature deciduous trees (some over half a century old), camellias and other ornamental shrubs and creepers.
Could this be your family’s chance for a lifestyle change? Wake up to the sounds of lyrebirds and the sight of kangaroos lounging on the lawn – without sacrificing proximity to transport, schools and the city – only around two hours drive away.
