For the astute buyers looking for a property that would sate the needs and desires of an active, growing family then we would recommend an inspection of this terrific home.

There is convenience… the home is just a short drive across to Hornsby or to Castle Hill
There is privacy… the neighbours are well-screened on all sides, ensuring maximum privacy
There is space… both internally and externally, the whole family can spread out

For sheer convenience the position would take a lot of beating. Galston Shops and the local schools are within an easy walk. Schools such as Northholm Grammar, Arcadia; St. Madelines, Marion College and Hills Grammar School at Kenthurst ; Oakhill College etc are just a short drive away and schools such as The Kings School, Tara Anglican School for Girls and Loreto Normanhurst are well-served by buses running from Round Corner Dural.

The mainly level acreage has well-proportioned dimensions of approx. 200m x 100m and has been home to pastimes such as pony riding and mini-bikes. The private driveway and a stand of mature trees ensures complete privacy from the neighbours.

The main house has plenty of room and allows the whole family to enjoy different activities without being on top of each other. In brief the accommodation extends to: formal and informal living; a huge country-style kitchen with granite and recycled oregan timber that leads seamlessly outside to the sandstone paved patio; useful study; a 70sqm games and entertaining room (complete with timber and glass conservatory) dwarfs a full-sized billiards table; each bedroom has built-in robes and the master suite has a large walk-in robe and fully tiled en suite.

A sparkling 15m saltwater pool offers a beach at the shallow end ideal for the nippers! Further down the block there is a sizable brick and tiled barn, which was the original dwelling during the construction of the main house. The barn offers ideal home office facilities and is also a great hideaway for the noisy teenagers when they have a get-together! At the eastern end there is a spacious workshop, with plenty of room for the DIY enthusiast.

The flora and fauna are also worthy of note. The well-stocked, low maintenance gardens have matured beautifully over the years and offer a splash of colour almost all year round. In terms of weekend maintenance, this home will allow family leisure time and weekends away without the worry of the gardens running amok. There is the ubiquitous collection of possums and rabbits and a family of Tawny Frogmouths in residence and a Boobock Owl can often be heard hooting in the wee hours.

All in all this wonderful family property offers something for everyone and it will reward all those buyers that come for an inspection.
