12 Ashburton Drive

THE PROPERTY Big windows, generous rooms, warm timber floors and leafy views give this immaculately maintained home an easy, comfortable character, while the split-level layout gives the family plenty of room to spread out. Set on approximately 711 square metres, the home opens to a broad lounge and dining room where garden views sit beyond the windows and the proportions feel refreshingly generous. The kitchen sits between the main living areas, with a dishwasher, island bench and breakfast bar, connecting easily with all the living zones. At the back, the family room is the everyday magnet. It has carpeted floors, recessed lighting, a split-system air conditioner and wide glazing that looks out to the trees. From here, doors open to the north-facing deck, where there is space for a table, a barbecue and a quiet look across the surrounding greenery and the valley beyond. Three bedrooms sit on the main level, all with built-in robes, along with a bathroom with shower and a separate toilet. Downstairs adds genuine flexibility, with a fourth bedroom, second bathroom, under-stair storage, wine cellar, storeroom and workshop/storage space. A sheltered patio looks onto the well-tended established gardens. This whole indoor-outdoor setup gives older children, guests or extended family a useful area of their own, rather than just another bedroom squeezed into the plan. Ducted heating, split-system air conditioning in the main bedroom and family room, solar panels, established gardens and a single garage and space for more cars add the finishing details.
