A sun-filled sanctuary with a secret, this beautifully kept home offers not one but two thoughtfully configured dwellings. Ideal for extended family living, savvy investment or additional income, this is a rare opportunity with lasting appeal.

Elevated and inviting, the main home welcomes with its expansive lounge, brand new carpet and seamless indoor to outdoor connection. The wraparound deck enjoys elevated green views, making it a perfect place to unwind, entertain or simply soak in the late afternoon light. Inside, the kitchen is modern, well-appointed and practical, offering excellent storage and functional flow for busy family life.

Three generous bedrooms provide peaceful retreat, while the modernised bathroom features a separate bath and standalone shower. A dedicated laundry and well-considered layout support a relaxed, easy rhythm to daily living.

The fully self-contained minor dwelling opens to a sunny deck and serene bush outlook. With two bedrooms, a full kitchen and its own bathroom and laundry tucked behind bi-fold doors, it's an ideal space for grandparents, teenagers or long-term tenants seeking independence and comfort. With a strong rental history, this is a home-and-income setup with proven potential.

The enclosed carport adds everyday ease, and the property presents with genuine street charm in a sought-after family neighbourhood. Local beaches, parks and cafés are close by, and it's zoned for top schools including Shelly Park and Cockle Bay Primary, Somerville Intermediate and Howick College.

Whether you're seeking flexibility, freedom or a future-proof family base, this much-loved home delivers.
