Regretfully, after 50 years the time has come for the current owners to move from their much loved family home and enviable location to start a new chapter in their lives.
Superbly located on the high side of the street and positioned on an impressive 1,483m2 block is this delightful and privately built four bedroom ensuite home, that is ready to embrace a new family.
The front entrance to the home is inviting and greets you with an expansive covered terrace where you can take advantage of the tranquil garden surrounds and enjoy the evening sunsets.
The two storey residence is light-filled and spacious offering two segregated living areas, a separate dining room, a master bedroom with ensuite, three additional bedrooms which are serviced by a main bathroom. The updated kitchen is the central hub within the home and captures elevated views over the leafy and private rear garden. The convenient internal staircase provides access to the double lock up garage, separate laundry and teenager's retreat, home office, artist's studio, storage room or a perfect size for a fifth bedroom - the choice is yours!
With 72 Skinner Street move-in ready, there is still plenty of scope for the new buyer to re-model and add their own creative flair over time! For those buyers with an unlimited imagination, take advantage of the large backyard and install a swimming pool or extend the home; in the meantime there is ample space for the kids and pets to run free.
