If semi retirement or even full retirement is calling, but you still want space to entertain and privacy too, then this solid brick low set home offers all the benefits of village living while giving you the opportunity to continue to lead an active life. The home is ideally positioned on the land with a wide 30 metre street frontage giving that extra space between you and your neighbours that is so hard to find in most residential streets. It is in a beautifully quiet street lined with shady Jacaranda trees and on the southern side of the street so that it benefits from the full morning sunshine in winter. Walking is one of the favourite pastimes in this locality with most streets having large shade trees for dappled sunshine rather than the full force of the sun. Staffsmith Park with its Corral Trees, enclosed dog run and children’s playground is just a couple of minutes’ walk away. The Eagle Heights shops and bakery are really only a 5 minute walk from your front gate and level walking can take you to beautiful MacDonald National Park with its cool green and luxuriant rainforest. Walking lets you meet your neighbours and become part of the local community, especially the community that has formed over the years in Beechmont Avenue.

The home offers amazingly large living and entertaining spaces, starting with the formal lounge and moving on to the big formal dining room where the pleasure of a wood burning fire during the dinner party can add to the enjoyment on a chilly winter’s evening. The air conditioner in the formal lounge is sensibly positioned to push both warm and cool air through the wide opening between the 2 formal rooms whenever needed. The newer, air conditioned family room is also very spacious and is ideally positioned for natural climate control. Sunny winter mornings will feel so comfortable in here that you will turn off the air conditioner and probably open a window or two. Another wide opening leads from the family living to the space currently used as a home office. The air conditioning in the family room naturally flows through to also keep this area comfortable all year round. If you don’t need multiple desks, you could easily instal a sofa bed here to accommodate overflow visitors. A good fold back screen or even fold back doors could be added to give it privacy from the family room.

Although you only have one bathroom, there is a second separate toilet, so the problem is not too great! The bathroom is in top condition, but is a little dated. Whether or not you update it is your choice! The big combined laundry and utility room is some compensation for the lack of a second bathroom. There is space here for ironing or sewing as well as a huge linen / storage cupboard. The laundry opens out through a stout security screened door directly into the rear garden and the clothes line basking in sunshine.

The garden and the privacy it gives, is the crowning glory here. The rear garden has a huge shade tree which keeps the sun off the back of the house on summer afternoons and the rest of the rear garden is just overflowing with greenery and camellias to provide a solid screen from the world beyond. While the front garden does boast a small area of lawn, the entire fence line along the front and both sides is densely planted to stop prying eyes from looking in from any angle. This easily maintained home is ideal for people who would prefer to potter in a garden or go walking. It would also suite people who want to travel as it is easy to lock up and leave with just a gardener to keep the lawn under control in your absence and good neighbours to keep an eye on your home while you enjoy your travels.
