Description: Kids darting across the lawn, sausages sizzling on the deck, and kookaburras providing the evening soundtrack - this is a home that leans wholeheartedly into relaxed family living. Set on a generous 920m² (approx.) in one of Montrose's most loved low-traffic pockets, it blends space, greenery and everyday ease with just the right amount of charm. Timber boards stretch underfoot through an L-shaped living and meals zone, while ornate cornices add a subtle nod to character. It's a space that adapts effortlessly - movie nights, dinner with friends, or simply stretching out on a Sunday afternoon. The kitchen connects seamlessly, sleek and functional with quality stainless-steel appliances, keeping everything within easy reach while still feeling part of the action. Tucked away for privacy, three robed bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom with both bath and shower - practical for growing families and guests alike with scope to update when you're ready. But it's outside where this home truly comes into its own. A substantial covered deck sets the stage for everything from casual barbecues to milestone celebrations, complete with built-in seating and lighting that keeps the good times rolling long after sunset. Beyond, a spacious backyard opens up, offering plenty of room for cricket matches, pets, or simply enjoying the fresh air. An orange and apple tree add a sweet, seasonal touch, while the adjoining Heathfield Reserve creates a lush, ever-changing backdrop that feels like an extension of your own garden. For those who need space to tinker, store or park, the property delivers with a double carport behind gates, drive-through access to a garage with workshop benches, and ample off-street parking. With Heathfield Creek Reserve just down the road, Montrose Village and Montrose Primary close by, and the occasional wandering peacock adding a touch of local charm, this is a home where lifestyle and location come together beautifully.
