Perched on the enviable high side of its pin-drop-quiet street, this solidly built 1970s home settles itself naturally into Blackwood's gum-studded landscape - a deliberate shift away from city pace, yet still just minutes from Blackwood's lively centre.
Built of honest double brick, it stands as a reminder of an era that valued sturdiness and simple, functional design, placing picture windows exactly where they matter most - framing nature, not ignoring it.
The layout draws a clean, rational line between living and retreat. One wing holds the three bedrooms, including a main with its own ensuite and direct access to the rear garden - a quiet slipstream between indoors and out.
The other wing is reserved for the daily movements of family life. The living room stretches wide with solid Blackbutt floors, washing in natural light with a skylight in the hallway, carving out space for dining, lounging, working - all while keeping a constant connection to the landscape just beyond the glass.
Adjacent, the kitchen takes a practical, thoughtful stance with its induction cooktop, dishwasher, ingenious pull-out storage solutions, breakfast bar, and a casual meals zone at its feet.
Outside, the pitched-roof pergola pulls the garden in, keeps the weather out and features a wood fire stove for those cold winter nights.
Beyond, the backyard gently rises into tiers, offering a flat lawned area for pets and play, plus extensive shedding and a large powered workshop that extends the home's practical reach well beyond its footprint.
Positioned within a web of nature reserves, with hiking trails on call, Blackwood's cafés and conveniences just moments away, and easy access to Scotch College, St John's Grammar and the city itself; what feels a world away, is far from it.
