21 Forbes Road

There's a quiet confidence to a home like this. One that doesn't try too hard, because every detail has already been so carefully considered. From the moment you arrive, the blend of natural materials and clean, modern design feels effortless, anchored by the warmth and texture of Carey Gully stone, carried beautifully both inside and out. Step through the door and it's the timber underfoot that sets the tone. Solid, grounding, and instantly inviting. The home comprises 390sqm of internal living space and opens up into a generous kitchen, living and dining space where life naturally gathers. Mornings begin at the island bench, coffee in hand, while evenings stretch long beside the stone fireplace. A skylight draws soft light into the dining space, shifting gently throughout the day, while glass doors peel back to connect seamlessly to the outdoors. Out here, it's easy to imagine how it's lived in. Long lunches under the louvre roof, the barbecue going, drinks tucked into the fridge, kids drifting between here and the flat, lush lawn. It's a space designed to be used, not just admired, where everything has its place and nothing feels overdone. Back inside, there's a quieter corner of the home where the library sits, warmed by another striking stone fireplace. It's the kind of room you retreat to in the evenings or steal away to on slower mornings. Nearby, the practical elements have been thoughtfully handled. A guest toilet off the entry, generous under-stair storage, and a mudroom-style laundry with its own external access, ready for the rhythm of everyday life. Tucked beneath the home, a fully self-contained apartment adds another layer entirely. Whether it's for multigenerational uses, extended family, guests, or a space to work from home, it offers privacy and flexibility without compromise. Upstairs, the feeling softens. Plush carpet underfoot, ducted air throughout, and a sense of calm that carries through each of the bedrooms. The master suite is quietly set apart, complete with a walk-in robe and its own ensuite, while the additional bedrooms feature built-in storage and V-Lux skylights that bring in natural light and fresh air. A second living space sits among it all, perfect for movie nights, teenagers, or simply somewhere to switch off. The main bathroom feels more like a retreat than a necessity. Underfloor heating, a deep bath, and a separate shower all come together in a space that invites you to slow down. Outside, the grounds have been shaped with the same level of care as the home itself. Expansive lawns stretch out, framed by stonework and thoughtful landscaping, creating a space that feels both open and intentional. Set on just over an acre allotment, the property continues to deliver with two substantial sheds (9x6m and 9x9m), one complete with a polished concrete floor, bathroom and shower, along with a huge pad perfect for more substantial shedding, a pool and or a tennis court. An Envirocycle system already in place. It's the kind of home that just works. For families, for entertaining, for the quiet moments in between. A place where everything has been considered, so you can simply move in and start living.
