Some homes offer space. Others offer lifestyle. This home delivers bothalong with the extras you didn't think were possible this close to the bay. Set on 743sqm (approx.) in one of Parkdale's most tightly held pockets, this beautifully reimagined weatherboard is designed for a slower, richer way of livingwhere home extends far beyond the walls. Wraparound verandas invite you to follow the sun throughout the daymorning coffee at the front, long afternoons at the rear while the kids roam free. It's relaxed, effortless, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Inside, warmth and character are balanced with modern ease. Hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and soft natural light create a calm, welcoming feel, while a thoughtfully designed kitchen anchors the home. With premium appliances, double ovens, bespoke cabinetry, a butler's pantry, and a built-in dining nook, it's a space made for gathering, sharing, and everyday living. A generous dining room, separate lounge with gas fire, and dedicated study provide another layer of connection, comfort and potential. The bedrooms are flexible and functional (all with BIRs), with a peaceful main bedroom opening to the veranda, two additional bedrooms, and a dedicated studyideal for families, working from home, or creative pursuits. A centrally positioned bathroom delivers style and function, while the full laundry presents future potential for a second bathroom (STCA). But it's outside where this property truly sets itself apart. Secure, private, landscaped, spacious and lush it's much more than outdoor space. Mature fruit trees, an over-sized chicken coop, water features & fishponds, manicured lawns, tool shed, and a fire pit create a sense of sustainability and escape rarely found in a bayside setting. Adding another layer is the separate two-room studio with its own open fireplaceperfect as a home office, guest retreat, man cave or teenage zone. A true bonus space that adapts as life evolves. Practicality & efficiency hasn't been overlooked. Solar panels (19 panels/5kW), water tanks (5,000L), watering system, evaporative cooling, ducted heating & a/c units ensure the home runs as efficiently as it livescomfortably and sustainably.
