Property Description

Built for buyers who want to live larger rather than buy bigger, this three-bedroom Longhurst home doubles up on living space, making it a one-of-a-kind find in this popular pocket and price range. Built by Mike Greer Homes in 2016, the Rockcote and weatherboard exterior keeps contemporary style on low-maintenance terms. Set across 398sqm, the property is deliberately geared towards greater space without taking on more land, pairing an easy-care section with a generous two-lounge layout that gives families considerably more freedom and flexibility indoors.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and family area has social scale on its side, while the second full-sized lounge adds another dimension to entertaining and downtime. Multiple patios extend that choice outdoors, arranged around a fully fenced lawn that leaves little on the weekend workload. Three bedrooms are backed by two bathrooms and a separate WC, while four heat pumps put individual comfort into every bedroom as well as the main living area, complemented by an HRV system and thermal-lined curtains, with whole-house water filtration delivering quality on tap. Generous storage runs throughout the home and into the attic, with a garden shed adding outdoor capacity, while the double garage incorporates the laundry without sacrificing parking space.

Zoning for Knights Stream School and Hillmorton High adds education to the equation, while Halswell’s well-serviced surrounds put cafés, shops, services and recreation comfortably close to home. With the property headed to auction and pre-auction offers firmly in play, buyers who recognise the advantage of two living areas without the four-bedroom spend have every reason to move early.
