Set against the serene backdrop of Kettering's rolling hills, this beautifully constructed residence offers the perfect blend of space, comfort, and timeless charm. Built in 1979 with double brick external walls and a tiled roof, the home sits proudly on a generous 9,840m² parcel of land - fully fenced for privacy and ideal for families, hobby farmers or those simply seeking a peaceful lifestyle close to nature.
From the moment you enter, the quality of craftsmanship is evident. Raked timber ceilings, timber-framed windows, and a vintage chandelier in the expansive living area create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while large picture windows capture light and rural views from every angle. The home's thoughtfully designed layout includes three well-sized bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, and the master features its own private ensuite for comfort and convenience plus a walk in robe.
The heart of the home lies in its spacious living and dining areas, each offering their own sense of comfort and purpose. The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned, featuring a large pantry, ample bench space, and excellent storage - ideal for daily family life or preparing for guests. From the dining area, sliding doors open out to a stunning, sun-drenched timber deck, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a peaceful morning surrounded by nature. Whether you're hosting friends or unwinding with a book, this outdoor space extends the living experience and makes the most of the home's tranquil setting.
Practicality continues with a family bathroom featuring a separate toilet, an internal laundry, and abundant storage throughout - including a versatile attic loft that offers even more space for storage or a creative retreat.
Set back from the road to ensure complete privacy, the property features two water tanks, a heat transfer system for balanced, year-round comfort, and undercover access via a double carport. The land is mostly level and usable, with gate access to paddocks, a large double garage with workshop space, an additional garden shed, and established fruit trees. A netted vegetable garden offers the opportunity for home-grown produce, and the entire property is designed to embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle without compromising on ease of living.
