A cherished family sanctuary for over 70 years, this pristine Hills property has helped raise 4 generations. Now, as the retired owners look to downsize, this unique homestead opens its doors to new possibilities, offering a flexible living space ideal for multigenerational families or those seeking a harmonious blend of nature and comfort. 5 acres of gorgeous land await your family with half of the property dedicated to preserving the beauty of the Hills bushland. The result is a vibrant ecosystem bursting with seasonal wildflowers and orchids, kangaroo paws, pink myrtle, and countless other native treasures providing homes for the bounty of wildlife that also live here. This isn't just a home, it's a nature lover's utopia.
As you come up the driveway, the L-shaped abode with wrap-around verandahs greets you. From the north-facing perspective, you'll enjoy views of lush cottage gardens, a thriving orchard with an array of fruit trees, and a sprawling lawn. Always wanted to add a pony or a batch of your own friendly fowl? This might be the perfect spot for them. Inside, the brick residence - originally built in 1981, offers a lovely blend of country style and thoughtful, modern inclusions. 5 spacious bedrooms plus a study/6th bedroom and 3 neat-as-a-pin bathrooms are yours to make your own, plus recent renovations to the primary suite and the outdoor entertaining area mean you won't have anything on your To Reno list. If you have grandparents you'd love to live closer to or semi-independent young folk who suddenly need a whole lot more of their own personal space, this is the ideal home to provide everyone with a special spot.
