FROM THE SELLER

This home has been a true sanctuary—peaceful, private, and closely connected to nature. Daily visits from birds, including a female bowerbird, have been a joy, drawn to the mix of mature trees, native plants, and fruit trees. The shaded patio has been perfect for summer BBQs, while red cedar shutters and Crimsafe screens offer comfort and security. A rare and beautiful NSW black callitris adds to the uniqueness of the garden. The neighbourhood is friendly and inclusive, with young families and retirees who connect through a WhatsApp group and annual Christmas party.
