23A Swinburne Avenue

Just moments from town on a generous allotment of 1601sqm (approx.), this beautifully presented, 3-4 bedroom classic Australian homestead captures the ease of country living without losing connection to everything that matters. Its picturesque garden setting and deep return verandah create a natural buffer that offers idyllic privacy and a feeling of belonging, leading into interiors where family needs are met with ease, spanning an incredible single-level footprint with a sun-drenched indoor-outdoor setting. Oversized colonial-style windows draw sunlight deep into the interiors, so every room feels bright and open, while the stone-finished kitchen with a freestanding gas stove, large island and bay windows overlooking the gardens forms a central point that keeps everything and everyone connected. From here, the meals and living domain is warmed by a slow combustion wood heater that adds atmosphere through the cooler months, before extending outward to the verandah, a red-brick paved terrace for al-fresco dining, and a freshly turfed yard that invites play and easy entertaining. A second living room introduces added flexibility, with its expansive layout, integrated cabinetry, and garden outlook offering a quieter counterpoint, while the adjoining rumpus or studio, with separate access, integrated desks and soaring pine-lined ceilings, doubles as a home office or guest zone as needs evolve. Well-zoned accommodation includes three bedrooms all with robes, with the main opening to the verandah and finished with a private ensuite, supported by modern comforts such as ducted heating, split system cooling and updated Colorbond fencing, carport plus ample off-street parking, all within minutes of Gisborne's cafés, schools, parks and freeway access for a straightforward city commute.
