Maybe it's just me, but there is a little something special about this house that gives me an immediate sense of calm and tranquillity as soon as I set foot through the double front doors. If I were a few decades younger I might call it a "chilled vibe" as the young ones say but since I'm not I will instead put it down to the mid-century charm and architecture, the high raked ceilings, the statement exposed brick features, the wealth of large glass doors and windows and the picturesque garden beyond each of them. I might also say that it was the clever L-shaped layout that offers the perfect separation of multiple living spaces and 4 bedrooms, the adorable courtyard garden off the ensuite or the fact that this home has so clearly been well loved and maintained to an exceptionally high standard. And all this in such a quiet and peaceful location within a short walk to Akuna Parkland with their fantastic sports fields, walking tracks to the shops and restaurants, bike tracks to the CBD, fitness equipment and children's playgrounds. That special feeling could be a mix of all of the above or as simple as the soft breezes that welcome you courtesy of the elevated position of this 582sqm, mostly flat block and that you will be most grateful for once summer hits (and when the breeze is no use against a 40 degree day … you'll be relieved to know, there is always plenty of air conditioning!).
Speaking of all things more practical than feelings and vibes … read on below for all the things you can tick off your priority list!
