Aptly named "Karinya" meaning "home in the forest", this much-loved family home is located mere minutes from the Stoneville township, yet has the feel of a secluded country hideaway. Situated on a low maintenance 5504sqm block, the residence is nestled amongst mainly native gardens and boasts stunning groves of mature trees and bush that are teeming with bird life. Comprising a spacious and comfortable 5 bedroom home with a huge and perfectly private, gabled and decked al fresco area, this is a home in which to create family memories which will last forever! Spacious 5 bedroom & 2 bathroom home Sunken lounge and separate family room Kitchen with new hotplate & dishwasher Master bedroom with WIRs and ensuite Sparkling fibre glass below ground pool Double carport and ample ancillary parking Massive gabled and decked al fresco area Chook house, 6mx6m shed, rear paddock Minutes to town, shops, schools & amenities Make your way down the long driveway to the residence which is surrounded by easy care gardens. There is plenty of space for ancillary parking, a turning bay and a double carport for secure parking. A pretty verandah fronts the home and is the ideal spot in which to enjoy the plethora of bird life which frequent the garden. Step inside to a long entrance hallway. Gleaming slate flooring features here and is as hard wearing as it is attractive. To the right of the entrance is a sunken lounge room which enjoys a pretty outlook over the front garden. The master bedroom is located on the opposing side of the hallway and enjoys the same pretty vistas out to the front garden. It is complete with a spacious walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom. Adjoining the lounge room is a dining area which is overlooked by a refurbished kitchen. The kitchen has a new electric cooktop, dishwasher and double sink and enjoys a lovely view out to the sparkling below ground pool. A large family room completes the living zone of the home and has timber laminate flooring, ceiling fan, a slow combustion wood fire and direct access out to the side of the home. Double insulation ensures the home is kept cool for long periods even during the hottest days. The minor bedrooms are all contained in a separate wing to ensure parent's privacy and are serviced by a family bathroom with a bathtub and separate toilet. All but one of the bedrooms are fitted with robe recesses and ceiling fans. A large laundry completes this wing of the home. But why spend time indoors when there is on much on offer outside? Step out the back door to find a huge gabled, decked al fresco area that is certain to delight those that love to entertain! Large enough to accommodate a huge party with ease, it is complete with a bar, misting system, fairy lights and an outdoor sink. Add in the fact that this private space enjoys the prettiest of outlooks down this magnificently treed block and you could be forgiven for spending all your time outdoors. Kids will delight in exploring the garden and veggie patch, collecting eggs from the happy chickens living in the chook palace or riding their bikes around the “racetrack”. Another hidden bonus is the gate at the rear of the block which provides access to a pretty winter creek which adjoins the property. Even the animal lover is catered for here, as there is a large fenced paddock at the rear of the block which has previously been home to some stock. Looking for a property where you can enjoy all the peace and serenity of country living without compromising on easy access to all the comforts of urban living? Somewhere the kids can run free and you wake up to the sound of birdlife and the smell of the fresh country air? Then look no further as “Karinya”, could be your new forever “home in the forest”.
