New estates keep shrinking backyards to a strip of turf. Here you get a full 966m² of flat, fully fenced land, with a two-level family home and covered parking for up to five vehicles.

It’s a rare find this close to Springfield, with room for the way you want to live.

THE HOME
Upstairs is where the family comes together. On cooler nights the fireplace in the lounge gives that real crackling warmth no heater can match, a reason to put the phones down and settle in. When summer arrives, the split-system air-conditioning keeps it comfortable.

The kitchen is made for a household that’s always on the go. It has plenty of cabinetry, a pantry for the weekly shop and a dishwasher to take care of the clean-up. The arched servery window keeps the cook connected to everyone else and keeping up with the conversation.

At the back, the family and dining room is the space you’ll use every day. Long dinners, board games and slow weekend breakfasts all happen here. It opens onto the rear deck, which looks over the yard, so you can watch the kids play while you admire the space.

All three bedrooms are set up, each with a built-in robe and a ceiling fan. The bathroom has a corner spa bath, a good place to soak away a long week, and the separate toilet helps busy mornings run a little smoother. Out the front, the verandah is a quiet spot to start the day with a coffee and perfect place to end the day.

Downstairs is where the fun happens. The rumpus is set up as a games room and bar, ready for footy nights, birthday parties and Saturday afternoons with mates. Upstairs stays calm while the noise stays down here.

Two utility rooms give you somewhere to put the things every family collects. They could hold the camping gear, a home gym setup, a craft corner or a home office. The laundry, a second toilet, an under-stair store and an enclosed front porch complete this level. It’s all practical space!

THE BLOCK
Step out from the covered patio and the yard opens up in front of you. It’s big, level and fully fenced, with room for a game of cricket, a trampoline and the dogs, with plenty left over.

This is the kind of backyard many of us grew up with, and it’s getting harder to find. You could add a pool (STCA), plant veggie gardens or build a chook pen. Or you could just enjoy having room to breathe.

With side access to the rear of the block, so the caravan, boat or work ute can go out the back. At the rear you’ll find:
• A double shed with an attached carport
• A second double carport
• A garden shed

There’s room for the tools, the project car and all the gear that never fits in a standard garage. The front yard is fenced and gated as well, so kids and pets are safe front and back.

Out the back of the property, a pathway leads straight to Camira State School. Walking the kids to and from school becomes part of the daily routine, with no car, no drop-off line and no rush. Stop at Melinda Street Playground on the way home and everything you need is right on your doorstep.
