Family Living in Surrey Downs
Set on a corner block in peaceful Surrey Downs. Just a hop, skip and a jump from the Primary School and very convenient to Fairview Green Shopping Centre - that's just the start of local facilities for a family - with other schools, sporting facilities, medical services, Tea Tree Plaza and the O-Bahn all within easy reach.
The current owners have brought up their family in this lovely home, having lived here since 1979, and are now ready for a retirement change.
Set on a good sized block of just over 700sqm, with the advantage of a corner position providing access from two streets, this home will delight its new owners.
Entering by the front door you find an entry hall with the lounge to the left and a combustion heater for winter comfort, leading through to the well-equipped modern Alby Turner kitchen. The meals area is conveniently located to flow from the kitchen to the outdoor patio with timber decking providing for all year round outdoor living in the context of a peaceful rear garden with a good selection of fruit trees: orange, lemon, apricot, 2 apple, plum and pear - all with a history of bearing good quantities of quality fruit.
The three bedrooms are grouped around the beautiful bathroom with its 2-person spa bath and separate shower. The toilet is also separate. The main bedroom has a built in robe, bedroom 3 is connected to the study providing ideal arrangements for an older high school or Uni student in the family.
Access to the home from Leyte Drive is via the under-main-roof carport with electric roller door. A door leads into the laundry through to the kitchen, or via the deck at the rear. There is a secure storage space above the carport.
Ducted evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, all doors keyed alike and an effective alarm system all add to the suitability of this family home.
A well quipped workshop in the rear, with light, power, benches and a pit gives ample scope for carpentry, mechanical work or whatever the family desires, while the rest of the shed, partially lined as a rumpus room, features a bar and provides entertainment space for young and old. The second driveway with its own carport, reached from Vine Street, solves those parking problems for more than one vehicle - car, caravan, boat or trailer - in the family. Being set on a generous corner block, you might one day want to talk to the local council about development or re-development potential.
All in all, a great buy as a home for today with extra possibilities in the future.
