This solid, tidy, private and well cared for brick home on a small and manageable 1.23 ha, is only minutes from Candelo and offers so much. Imagine… long leisurely lunches enjoying the large outdoor, undercover entertaining area, having space for children to run and explore, easy single-level living to enjoy a sustainable lifestyle, and, if you’ve ever eaten a real apple or plum from your own tree, you’ll know there is just nothing like it. There are so many different sorts of buyers that this property would suit. This comfortable home is north facing, in an elevated and private location, just on the outskirts of Candelo. This home is designed for easy living with an open plan kitchen, Miele dishwasher, under sink water filter, walk-in pantry, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and separate toilet, 2 living areas plus study and lots of cupboard space. The kitchen cold tap is fitted with a filter, professionally plumbed in, a nice addition. A spacious, north facing, undercover outdoor entertaining area is accessed directly from the kitchen living area and has a beautiful garden outlook. There is also a generously sized lockup garage, allowing extra storage space, separate laundry and approx 3.5kva grid interactive solar panels to reduce energy costs. Two rainwater tanks can provide water for the garden and one of them is professionally fitted with an on-demand electric pump to provide the house with tank water, as back up, during any interruptions to the mains supply. The Candelo area has fixed wireless broadband, giving residents good NBN speeds. The beautiful established gardens have numerous mature established trees, of which 30+ are fruit, a mature rose garden, and a small grape vine venture which, with some TLC, will return to its grape glory. Imagine that? Inheriting an established orchard of 30+ mature trees. The fruit trees include apples, plums, pears, oranges and olives as the reliable producers. The cherries are predominantly ornamental and are stunning when in flower, when they herald the beginning of Spring. This lovely property also offers areas which would suit a granny flat or studio (STCA).
