This house has something that others can only dream of -- the best of two worlds -- a family home on one hand and natural wonders on the other. Located next to the Bushy Park Wetlands, a family can indulge the pleasures of nature and scurry back to the comforts of home in two quick steps. You can also take many more steps if you wish, as Bushy Park is well endowed with bicycle and walking trails as well.
As for the comforts of home, this house has all in abundance. A double-door opens to a wide entry area with display wall. The main bedroom and L-shaped formal lounge share this level.
Three steps from the entry lead down to the hub of activity - a Caeserstone kitchen and spacious family room in open plan. An extra-wide benchtop (with drawers on one side and storage cupboards on the other) demarcates the food-preparation area from the family room that opens to the garden via full-length glass doors and panes. The cooking area also opens to the outside through a bifold window that doubles as a hatch with a deep Caesarstone ledge (outside) so food can be passed from indoors to out easily.
A guest bedroom, separate bathroom and toilet and well-planned laundry are incorporated inconspicuously into the activity hub that enjoys abundant light from the north-facing garden. A carpeted flight of stairs from the hub leads upstairs to a living zone ideal for youngsters - three bedrooms, each big enough for a queen-size bed; a shared bathroom with twin basins, shower and separate toilet; and plus a spacious lounge area for TV, video games and sofas.
Other features include:
-Double carport
-Spacious open-plan as well as zoned areas
-Three fully-updated bathrooms
-Ample under-bench kitchen storage, hatches for electrical appliances
-Wine-storage shelves
-Easy-on-the eye colour scheme of sandstone tones and French blue
-90-cm stainless-steel oven
-Space for a twin-door fridge
-Ducted heating and evaporative cooling
-Wide, brick-paved outdoor areas both covered and open
-In-ground swimming pool
The outstanding features of this house are function and location. Living areas flow into each other, from to room to room and inside to outside. With the historic Bushy Park Wetlands as a neighbour, buyers are assured the view will not be built over. This house is changing hands for the first time in 15 years.
