• Large family home
• Private double block
• Dreamy Candelo village lifestyle

This tree-top oasis offers an enviable vantage point to take in both the sunrise and sunset each day from its panoramic windows.

This large, character-filled home is ideal for a family, or those looking for some space in a private, leafy location. The split-level, craftsman built, timber home is set on a large double block with no close neighbours.

The open plan kitchen, living and dining area in the upper section of the house offers a stunning view looking north towards the Candelo Creek and the mountains in the distance. The home's elevated position and clever design means it has great airflow and is flooded with natural light all day. Floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of this space with french doors opening out onto a large covered deck. With ample room for a dining table and barbecue, this deck feels like an extension of the home meaning you can eat/work/relax outside all day. In the open plan living area, there's a woodfire and a reverse cycle air-conditioner for year-round comfort. Adding to its bespoke feel, the house has robust, low-maintenance slate tiles throughout and is fitted with timber doors and windows.

Also in the upper section of the house is the large laundry which has excellent storage and direct backyard access to the clothesline. There's also a large family bathroom with separate bath and shower, double sink with lots of storage and a separate toilet. Another standout feature upstairs is the cedar-lined sauna – an incredible luxury in a family home. It is simple to use and can help to improve your skin, increase circulation and ease muscle pain. There are multiple built-in storage spaces, dotted throughout the home including a large linen cupboard in the hallway and broom cupboard off the kitchen.

Downstairs there are four bedrooms. All are filled with natural light, have ceiling fans and built-in wardrobes, are carpeted and have fresh paint. The bedrooms open onto another smaller living space with its own wood heater which efficiently heats this section of the house. This space, which could also be used as a home office or study space, opens out onto a wrap-around deck with a great view over the leafy backyard. Also downstairs is a separate powder room and another large room which has a multitude of uses - a studio space, media room, playroom, yoga room or a fifth bedroom. This room also has plumbing running to it so the possibilities for it are endless.

In the backyard, and within full view of the deck off the living area, there's a large built-in swimming pool, an inviting respite from the summer heat. There's loads of room for vegetable gardens, a firepit area and there's even a chook house for your chooks! The elevated aspect of the house means there's great under-house storage and parking space for a car or two. The large, fully-fenced block has beautiful established trees, is well-maintained and has loads room for the kids or pets to play.

Just 20 minutes' drive to Bega or Merimbula, Candelo has boomed in recent years with an influx of young families and downsizers making the quaint village their home. There's a thriving General Store and Café, Service Station, Pub, Post Office, Primary School and a beautiful town park. This home is tucked away in its own private spot on the edge of town but is close enough to enjoy all the delights of the Candelo village lifestyle.
