The perfect downsize, first family home or retirement living with the joys of a rural outlook Offering 3 bedrooms and in immaculate condition, this well cared for 2001 home rests in a peaceful, easy maintenance garden with views across rolling acres to distant bushland. On a still day, you may hear the swish of tyres on the Amy Gillett Bikeway (to which you have access just a minute down Rohrlach Street). But otherwise it's the tranquillity of Charleston, one Hills' village that hasn't been inundated by housing developments. The brick facade presents as a charming cottage of a bygone era, with double windows bringing the country views into the master and second bedroom (which you may wish to use as a sitting room or study). A central hallway leads to the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, all served by a split air conditioner and slow combustion heater and opening to a rear deck overlooking the delightful rear garden. The kitchen has a double-bowl sink, good bench space, electric oven and hob and a corner pantry cupboard. The master bedroom has a virtual en-suite, with direct access to the family bathroom through a walk-in-robe. Separate vanity and w/c provide extra convenience during the morning rush-hour! Bedroom three - with built in robe - overlooks a screened courtyard patio, which provides a shady entertaining area or, with direct access from the laundry, a sheltered spot for drying the washing. There is ample storage here, with a shed next to the carport as well as separate garden, wood and tool sheds, and secure fencing for the family pet. Charleston is zoned for Lobethal Primary (5km away) and Oakbank High School (10km), and is home to a popular pub and Pony, a gorgeous homewares, gift and fashion boutique. Just a 5-minute drive away are the cafes and shops of Woodside, with all major services at Mount Barker (and the freeway) only a further 15 minutes. The house is on a Community Title with shared septic system and has a 6 panel solar system enjoying good rebates (subject to purchaser's energy supplier).
