Behind these front gates is a haven that is both welcoming and totally relaxing – whether it is in the tropical front yard watching the kids play on the lawn or in the rear yard floating around the sun-drenched swimming pool or entertaining in the pergola.

Located close to Terrey Hills Village but far enough to enjoy the semi-rural atmosphere, it offers a wonderful opportunity for buyers of all types.

Those looking for a home to put in roots or add their own touches will be surprised by the versatility this home presents.

It is fully fenced front and back, with the house sitting in the centre of the block, maximising the usage of the land.

The front driveway leads to a double garage with storage area and access to the front yard. There is additional off-street parking on the driveway.

The front yard is heavily landscaped with fragrant shrubs and tropical gardens, as well as a lawn and children’s play area. Upstairs leads to the front door and a fully fenced deck – with plenty of shade to make it a perfect hideaway from the summer sun.

The formal lounge is located off the front entry, and it also has access to the front deck. The lounge includes a combustion heater and is adjacent to the formal dining room.

A door leads out to the private rear yard, which includes a covered and paved entertaining pergola, extensive decks and a swimming pool, which enjoys plenty of sunshine.

Also off the dining room is the massive timber kitchen, which is original but immaculate condition. A built-in eating area is located at the other end of the kitchen, and the addition of a table would create an ideal casual dining area. There is a large pantry and plenty of cupboard space.

The laundry is adjacent and has direct access to the rear yard and clothes drying area.

Three bedrooms are located at the other end of the home, and each has a built-in robe. They share a spacious bathroom which includes a separate bath, shower and toilet.

Downstairs is the massive master bedroom, which offers two huge built-in robes and a walk-in dressing area which could also be used as a study enclave. The master has an ensuite with heated towel rail.

Other features of the home include ceiling fans, extensive use of skylights, and new paint and carpets.
