Timeless Family Home with Wraparound Verandahs and Poolside Entertaining
Set against a breathtaking bushland backdrop in sought-after Anstead, this character-filled acreage retreat offers a lifestyle of seclusion and space many only dream of. Embraced by nature, the home is set on a private 2.5-acre block and designed for relaxed living with verandahs on all sides, multiple indoor and outdoor living zones and an inviting saltwater pool. Elevated to capture cooling breezes and leafy views, it blends classic charm with modern family comfort, delivering functionality across two spacious levels.
Upstairs, polished timber floors and a wood-burning heater feature in the open plan living and dining area while the traditionally styled kitchen boasts shaker cabinetry, a gas cooktop and striking tiled splashback. Four bedrooms upstairs include a generous master suite with verandah access and a walk-through robe to an ensuite. Downstairs, a sprawling family/rumpus room opens to a large patio and outdoor bar, making entertaining effortless. A fifth bedroom or home office, European laundry and storage completes the lower level.
But the magic doesn't stop at the doorstep here, as the outdoors provides an ideal playground for adventures and memory-making family events. From lazy afternoons under a shady tree to playing on rope swings to quad bike riding - there's even room for a horse! Ample lawn areas mean space for backyard footy and cricket or an overnight campsite with the kids for stories under the stars.
