Whether you’re a small family looking for the ideal place to raise your kids, a professional couple seeking the ultimate lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to the city, or empty nesters longing for a peaceful yet fun-filled retirement, where better to buy than quiet and tucked away location in Rural View with its lush parkland surrounds, birdlife and easy access to many amenities.

All throughout, the home is light, airy and spotless with a luxurious undertone to its design.

Why we LOVE 5 Balzan Drive…

- Fantastic street appeal with welcoming front entry – Positioned off the street with an elevated aspect, this home has been thoughtfully designed to capture breezes, along with delivering peace & privacy. As you enter the property via its wide driveway, you’ll immediately be impressed by the home’s skillion style design, gorgeous frontage with feature letterbox & beautifully maintained landscaping, & easy access to the secure double garage plus adjacent shed. A highlight of the home is the inclusion of timber features throughout providing warmth & character, particularly at entry with its stained staircase, cladded accents & oversized French-style door. To the sheltered front porch, you’ll even find a tiled feature wall which sets the tone for the rest of the home

- The great outdoors – Lovers of the outdoors &/or weekend entertaining, look no further! The home’s exterior is just as appealing as the interior with its impressive entertaining retreat, extensive landscaping, double shed with drive-through access & more! While you’re enjoying some cold drinks with family under the shade of your alfresco zone, the kids/grandkids & pets will love playing in the adjacent backyard down the steps. It’s good for plenty more than just kicking a ball around though – this gorgeous, terraced yard is fully enclosed by fencing & lush hedges, featuring established gardens, an abundant veggie patch with chillies & herbs, automated irrigation system, a garden shed tucked in the corner & even a thoughtful pebbled nook that’s perfect for a firepit or garden setting to enjoy a quiet cuppa

- 2.7m higher clearance to 6.7m deep x 5.7m wide shed (internal measurements) with drive-through access – If the garden shed & double garage don’t provide enough storage for all the tools & toys, your secure double shed certainly will! Boats, caravans, jet skis & more will have a clean, dry home here in this extensive workshop – simply roll right in or out via the driveway. The shed even includes a single roller door to the rear which leads right out to the backyard for added convenience. And to further keep your running costs low the current owner has also installed with company Energy Base, 5kw solar inverter with 6.5kw of panels

- Spacious, modern kitchen – Preparing meals will become a highlight of your day with this timeless walk-through kitchen at your disposal. Equal parts stylish & practical, the kitchen features an open-plan layout with sleek neutral tones including stone bench tops, a walk-in pantry & more immense storage throughout, plus appliances including dishwasher, built-in ducted rangehood & 900mm gas cooktop. At its heart, you’ll find a large island bench/breakfast bar with tasteful waterfall edges which brings a social aspect to the space. The entire kitchen is flattered by natural light thanks to its glass louvre windows with outdoor views & even a skylight

- Stunning king size master suite – Located in a separate wing of the home from the 2 minor bedrooms, your air-conditioned retreat will provide you with a blissful setting for some rest & relaxation. The room’s multiple glass louvre windows are thoughtfully primed with solar tinting, roller blinds & security screens, providing great crossflow ventilation & stunning natural light all year round. There’s so much space to yourself including your own private walk-in robe with cavity sliding door & a sleek modern ensuite

- Versatile minor bedrooms – Positioned separately from the main living area to ensure comfort & privacy for all, the two air-conditioned minor bedrooms are super spacious, each accommodating a double bed or larger. If there’s just two of you, either of the minor bedrooms would be perfect for an office, studio or even a home theatre!

- Modern main bathroom, ensuite & laundry – The home’s bathrooms plus internal laundry are finished in modern, neutral tones & follow a consistent design with their oversized tiles, stone tops, chrome tapware, fixtures & heaps of storage. The main bathroom is filled with natural light from its louvre windows, plus features luxurious floor-to-ceiling tiling, an oversized bathtub, glass screen shower, separate toilet for your convenience & a massive vanity with under-bench cavity for a makeup stool!
