This fantastic 4BR family home in a sought after North Warrnambool location is well designed for family living. Craftsman built and well maintained over the years, this immaculate property would suit young and old, with good use of space inside and a flat, generous approx. 900m2 block to enjoy.
Built in the early 1990s, this architect designed brick home comprises 4 bedrooms, 2 separate living zones, kitchen/ meals area, family bathroom with separate toilet and laundry, pergola and large double garage.
From the formal entrance hall, the master bedroom is off to the left, good size with WIR and ensuite bathroom, comprising shower toilet & vanity. Opposite the master bedroom is the front formal lounge or parents’ retreat, a spacious West facing living area which gets all the afternoon sun. This room is big enough to incorporate a study area or could be made a guest room with extra bathroom if need be.
There is a door through into the Central open plan living area with sliding glass doors opening to the North facing outdoor entertaining area. Kitchen is well equipped with electric oven, gas hotplates, pantry, lots of cupboard space and breakfast bar open to meals area, with the dishwasher in the adjacent, and very conveniently located laundry.
At the back of the large family room, a door leads through to the (grand-)kids’ or guests’ wing which comprises 3 good sized bedrooms with BIRs, all easily accessible to the family bathroom and WC. Both ensuite and main bathroom have been recently updated with modern vanities, feature tiling, new showers etc and are stylish, while being sympathetic to the original home. Main bathroom has bath, separate shower, large vanity and separate WC.
The house has benefitted from plenty of added extras over the years. A reverse cycle split/system compliments the gas heater with a 3kW + Inverter (to 5 kW) 12 panel solar system helping to reduce the bills. The fact that the master bedroom and both living areas are bathed in natural sunlight through the day also helps. New blinds and down-lights increase energy efficiency, as does the gas/ solar HWS, and the house was repainted internally 2 years ago.
The double garage at the front of the house is oversize, approx. 7.5m wide with dual remotes and a handy extra storage room in the back corner. Eaves are wide around the house offering plenty of shade and by now, you might be concluding they don’t make the new homes like they used to!! There is lots of space to park extra vehicles at the front on the extensive driveway, plus there is a wide side access which runs along the North side of the property, where you can get the boat, caravan, motor home, (or all 3!) securely off the road. There is room for additional garaging if required and the property is very well set up to accommodate all the toys.
The back yard is landscaped with a few established trees and fairly private, with the much-needed open space for the kids to run. The pergola is on the North side of the house with plenty of room to entertain and the back then has scope for you to add your touches, with all the hard work done for you.
All up, this is an impressive property in a sought after location in close proximity to Kings College. Ideal for families or (semi-) retired farmers where the kids can safely get to school without crossing a road. And with enough space around you that you can enjoy living in North without the noise and traffic of new developments. Private from the street, this home will need to be inspected to be appreciated, so call to arrange a time today!
