65 Rutland Road, Medlow Bath NSW 2780

Ideally situated on 5 acres of park-like gardens and bushland, this immaculately kept property is a must-see for those looking for a comfortable brick home in a peaceful, tucked-away nook, surrounded by the forested beauty of National Park and water catchment. Wander along the lovely bushrock path to the entrance and feel the space and serenity all around. Floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors (leading to sheltered patios and directly into the garden), lend a great impression of light and spaciousness to the interiors and take advantage of the privacy of lovely outlooks and the house's perfect north-south aspect. Wooden parquetry floors throughout the home are also a delightful feature. The updated kitchen is well planned (with loads of storage), and is open to the central dining room. Two living areas (positioned back to back) are wonderfully versatile family spaces, one with a slow combustion wood fire and the other flowing into a pleasant sun/garden room and onto a sheltered BBQ balcony.

There are four bedrooms in all, three with in-builts. There's also an ensuite in the master, plus a lovely reading nook in a sunny, north-facing bay window. Ducted (ceiling) central heating keeps the entire home toasty with the flick of a switch. Another advantage is the easy, level entry from the street and lots of off-street parking, as well as a spacious double garage (with roller doors and direct access to the house). Practicalities and delights in the garden include fenced-off sections with mature fruit trees and other cool climate plantings (that are glorious throughout the seasons), a large rustic wood shed, a water lily pond, a water tank - and of course all the glorious serenity afforded by the property?s position and size.

And all this is only a few minutes from the train station, park and local café, on the very edge of the World Heritage National Park.
