Add CategoryLIKE something straight from a storybook, a two-storey character home in Aberfoyle Park is set in an enchanting and peaceful lush setting.
Sitting opposite a pine forest, the home at 43 Pine Drive offers the perfect setting to enjoy a turkey roast and open Christmas presents with the family.
The only thing missing is the snow.
On the market with a price guide of $$595,000 to $615,000, the 2000-built family home offers four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living areas across both levels.
Somewhat of a cottage design from the facade to the interior, selling agent Scott Torney of Harcourts Tagni, says it’s one that has people mesmerised.
“It has this storybook cottage feel about it,†he says.
“It’s very quaint and in a tranquil setting, which adds to it.
“The style is very unique. People have been commenting that they haven’t seen anything like it and the manicured gardens also makes it appealing.â€
Mr Torney says interest so far, has come from a cross section of buyers.
“Interest has been strong and it’s been quite a mixed audience,†he says.
“I knew families would be interested because it’s a beautiful home with a pine forest across the road, but we’ve had younger people, older, and families.â€
Mr Torney says the home would make the ultimate Christmas present.
“Absolutely,†he says.
Set on a 713sqm block, the home has four bedrooms which are spread across both levels and the master, set on the ground floor, includes a feature bay window with a seat, an ensuite with a spa, and a walk-in wardrobe.
Bedroom two is also on the ground floor and is convenient to the laundry and a powder room.
Completing the lower level is a formal lounge with front garden views, a central kitchen and dining area, and a casual family space at the rear, which flows through to a large, decked pergola overlooking a landscaped backyard, via french doors.
Upstairs are another two large bedrooms, both with built-ins, a living area, a full-size two-way bathroom and a storage cupboard.
The home is decorated in neutral tones and floor coverings include a mixture of carpet and easy-to-clean tiles in the kitchen/dining space.
Additional features of the home include a double garage with remote-controlled roller doors, ducted airconditioning, a combustion fireplace and solar panels.
