Occupying a commanding position on a huge 862 m2 allotment sits this beautiful example of a traditional Ashgrove residence. A collection of bright family oriented living zones creates the foundation for great family flexibility in an incredible lifestyle setting. Well suited to large scale entertaining, a central open plan living area, spills onto a substantial rear deck overlooking a park like backyard towards what could affectionately be called "Lake Atthow" - a massive inground swimming pool measuring approximately 9.3 mt x 5.4 mt. Of course, the backdrop to this area is the Jaloon Street parklands, a leafy bushland corridor ensuring your peace, tranquility, and privacy. Imagine enjoying that Sunday morning coffee and jam croissant from local favorite Banneton Bakery, 200 mt's away, and looking over your large estate towards the pool and Kookaburra enhanced bushland beyond. It the sort of existence buyers demand but rarely find. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and living area, which is an ideal configuration for those who love to entertain. Two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the deck for easy mealtime options or eat in the kitchen via seating nestled into a bay window with garden views.
