An idyllic retreat in your very own backyard awaits. 16 Allan Place is a hidden gem. A solid brick home, its spacious frontage indicates that this is a place to relax and unwind, with trees providing shade amid the well-kept lawn. Neat paving and a wide driveway lead to the double automatic carport, which provides rear access.

As you enter the home you notice the beautiful, classic slate flooring underfoot. You can move through into the carpeted open plan living and dining area, where cosy nights can be spent next to the combustion heater. The kitchen completes this open area and it is in here that you’ll swoon at the large stainless steel gas stove and oven and abundance of storage and display space. Down lights add to its warm, homely vibe.

Featuring three bedrooms, two of the rooms have shelving, ideal for giving children a little helping hand with keeping things neat. The master bedroom boasts a mirrored built-in robe.

If the bathroom looks amazing, that’s because it is! Fresh, modern and updated, the shower is spacious, as is the bathtub and corner vanity. IXL lights will help to keep bodies warm during the cooler months. And if this peaceful space isn’t enough for relaxing, then take a look outside.

A sizeable pergola means out here means that you’ll probably want to order in, as it’s the perfect place to dine, relax and unwind. This space provides the perfect view of the splendid outdoor spa and swimming pool, both separately and safely fenced. The landscaping, the spaciousness, the privacy, it just ticks so many boxes. A large lawn provides even more of a play area, or a canvas on which you can add your own touches, such as outdoor furniture, vegetable garden, or perhaps a cubby.

This property’s locale is deceptively convenient, as you may think you are further away than you really are, due to all the relaxing you could be doing. Located in wonderful proximity to the Strand, as well as Main South Road and Southgate Plaza, you’ll find that schools, transport and services are so close. The Southern Expressway means that there is easy access to the city.

For a solid home, brimming with solid features, this one is a winner. Ensure you come see it for yourself. Bring your sunhat and be prepared to fall a little in love.
