This home is set back down a long driveway off Strettle Road. Look for the Earnshaws signboard then drive slowly straight ahead until you arrive. There is ample parking around the house but please be patient during the home open as there may be a large number of visitors.
If you've been searching for a home that's more than just a stepping stone - one that launches you straight into the fabulous life you've been dreaming of - this is it. Welcome to the ultimate playground for the connected, bustling family - 5 acres of Hills magic with your very own personal pass to the Heritage Trail included. A lifestyle upgrade with serious bells and whistles, the owners have recently completed some fantastic updates and additions including new solar panels, starlink satellite internet, a generator that will run the whole property for days, new double glazed windows and doors, wool carpeting, custom blinds, fresh paint, and landscaping. Even the gutters have been re-appointed and resealed. Plus, you'll be hard pressed to get your kids out of this backyard with the option of trampoline Olympics, a cubby house to play in that's bigger than your first apartment, and multiple playsets. Oh, and the gigantic powered workshop. There's very little this house doesn't offer!
Inside, this home nails effortless cool. You're welcomed by double doors with LED lighting that set the mood right from the start, opening into a light-filled, open-plan haven. The kitchen belongs in a magazine with an island where breakfasts are served and natural light pours in. With options to create up to six bedrooms, (including a versatile room with its own external access) there's space to grow, work, support semi independent teens or grandparents, or host however you please. The main suite is a private retreat with a boutique style ensuite and the family bathroom ups the ante with a freestanding tub and rain shower. Every corner of this home is designed to blend comfort with sophistication, creating spaces that are functional and beautiful.
