Set on a generous, sun-soaked section, the grounds feel more like your own private park. Established fruit trees, veggie patches and native bush create a peaceful, almost retreat-like setting. There’s even a stream running through the bush backdrop, best enjoyed from the elevated, partially covered deck with your morning coffee or a quiet evening drink. It’s quiet here, and at night, with very little light pollution, the sky opens up to a clear spread of stars. Inside, the home offers a layout that works with family life, not against it. Multiple living areas mean there’s space to spread out: whether it’s movie nights, kids’ play zones, or simply a quiet corner to unwind. The main living room is warm and welcoming with a heat pump, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area connects effortlessly to the deck, making weekend BBQs and gatherings easy. Four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a master bedroom complete with his-and-hers wardrobes and its own heat pump. The family bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower, with the added practicality of a separate toilet and a dedicated laundry. There’s more here than meets the eye. A separate rumpus offers flexibility as a teenage hangout, guest retreat, or a work-from-home office, with its own heat pump, means you can keep business and home life comfortably in balance. Outside, the in-ground swimming pool promises summers well spent, while multiple garden sheds and ample off-street parking (for four vehicles) round out a property that’s as functional as it is inviting. There is even the potential for a sleepout or granny flat (subject to due diligence). With a safe, family-friendly feel and a location just a quick bike ride to the local shops, this is a home where memories are made and kept for years to come.

Upstairs is light and bright, offering a comfortable three-bedroom home where the kitchen flows seamlessly into the open-plan dining and lounge. A gas heater keeps things cosy, while an HRV system ensures year-round comfort. This level includes two double bedrooms and a single, along with a modern bathroom incorporating the laundry. Underfloor insulation adds extra warmth, and sliding doors create seamless flow to the deck, with stairs leading down to the fully fenced, paved backyard — a safe and practical space for children and pets to play. Downstairs is a generous bonus area that adds valuable flexibility, complete with its own separate exterior entrance (no internal access from the upper level). While it would benefit from a décor refresh, the area is full of potential — you decide how it works best for your lifestyle. It could easily become a rumpus or games room, a quiet work-from-home space, or a retreat for teenagers or extended family wanting their own zone. A heat pump provides comfort, while a separate laundry with W.C. plus a shower adds practicality, along with access to the private backyard. Parking is well covered with a drive-under garage plus loads of off-street space for extra vehicles, a boat, or camper — a versatile Kelson home offering space, comfort, and options.
