This four-bedroom stone fronted villa on 640m2 is heaven for a young family, with plenty of room for friends and potential to upgrade further and add on as and when.

Among its many attractions is the Jacaranda-lined street, full of pretty character homes and friendly neighbours. Walk the kids to nearby Rose Park Primary and push the pram round the corner to catch up with girlfriends over a latte, pick up some groceries and browse One Rundle for that signature piece that will make this gorgeous home truly yours.

Nestled behind a picket fence and the prettiest of cottage gardens, the home is all roses around the front door. Step inside to fall in love with polished timber floors, jewelled leadlight, high ceilings, open fireplaces and generous light-filled rooms.

The present owners came with the intention of knocking off the back and doing a big extension but they had kids fairly quickly, their business took off and well, they never really got round to it. As they say, it turned out to be a blessing as the house is very liveable as is.

You can pop the kids in the bath - the bathroom has been sleekly updated with porcelain tiles and a huge walk-in shower - and watch them while you cook in the simple white kitchen which has lots of cupboards and mostly Miele appliances, including a dishwasher, oven and negotiable microwave. A large servery lets you keep an eye on them in the adjoining family room, sensibly tiled and wired for sound, or out in the lovely deep backyard that comes ready-made for play with lawn, a secret cubby, swings and monkey bars. It's the sort of garden that makes you want to grow your own and maybe keep a few chooks down the back where there's already an iron shed. You'll also want to sit out, relax and entertain on the red brick patio and just soak up the privacy.

Back inside, a massive laundry is a fantastic repository for hats, coats, buggies and other kiddy paraphernalia with not one but two toilets - particularly handy when you have lots of people over.

The original part of the house serves as a sleeping wing with four double bedrooms leading off a central hallway including the divine master, luxuriously refurbished with wool carpet and a stunning walk-in robe that would be the envy of Carrie Bradshaw. There are more good built-ins in two of the other bedrooms, leaving the fourth flexible as a study or additional living area.

This wonderful lifestyle is complete with ducted evaporative cooling and gas heating, a security alarm and single carport. Get organized and it could be yours in time for Christmas!
