22 Midland Road

THE PROPERTY Directly across the road from Midland Park, this single-level home gives the growing family the contemporary space it needs without making daily living feel complicated. There is room to come together, room to retreat, and a generous rear deck that turns the northern aspect into one of the standout features. A covered porch and stacked-stone entry set a smart tone before the floorplan stretches out into three distinct zones. The central focus is on the living and dining room beside a spacious kitchen with stone benchtops, breakfast bar, dishwasher, five-burner electric cooktop and oven, gas connection for a future stove and plumbing for the fridge. It is practical, open and easy to work around, with clear sightlines through to the meals area and out to the alfresco. Sliding doors open to a covered entertaining area and an extended north-facing deck with a motorised pergola, drawing in winter sun and dropping shade on demand in summer. A separate family room extends the footprint for movie nights, toys, teenagers, gaming or a quiet retreat away from the main hub. A study gives you options too, from a work-from-home space or a possible fourth bedroom depending on your needs. The bedroom wing is thoughtfully zoned. The main bedroom sits privately at the rear with walk-in robe and an ensuite featuring twin vanities and shower, so morning routines never overlap. Two further bedrooms with built-in robes share a central family bathroom with bath, shower and toilet, and bedroom two enjoys semi-ensuite access for added convenience. A separate laundry handles the working week, while the double garage with internal entry and rear access keeps everything seamless from car to kitchen. Plantation shutters, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ceiling fans throughout, a security alarm, and a 10-panel solar power system round out a residence ready for the long haul. A powered garden shed, rainwater tank and low-maintenance surrounds add useful substance without adding work.
