24 Hickenbotham Street

Purchased in 2000, 24 Hickenbotham Street was a home the owners were drawn to straight away, with the view, value, and timing all lining up at exactly the right moment. Over time, it became much more than just a place to live. It became the home where they raised their two boys, built their life, and made the decision to stay and grow with the house. The view remained one of the defining parts of the home from the very beginning, but it was the life lived around it that made the property so special. The owners will miss the studio, the backyard memories of their sons and their friends playing as kids, and the simple rituals that shaped family life here, from preparing snacks for Saturday movie nights and enjoying these moments as a family and sometimes with friends. It is that sense of history, comfort, and family connection that gives this home its lasting warmth. THE HOME Set on a generous 864sqm block, the home offers a doubles storey four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a practical footprint for family living. The interior has been refreshed over time through thoughtful updates, including renovations to the kitchen, laundry, and both bathrooms in 2018, as well as the installation of new flooring that adds to the home's clean and modern feel. The master bedroom offers a walk-through robe and ensuite while the additional 3 bedrooms are complete with plush carpets and two offering built in robes. The kitchen is complete with high end appliances and open plan to the living area. Additional features include year-round comfort is supported by evaporative cooling, gas heating, a new air conditioning unit installed in 2024, and split systems to the family room, main bedroom, and studio. The studio, added in 2021, has become one of the standout features of the property, originally built mainly for the owners' sons as they grow up, before evolving into a shared family space enjoyed by everyone. Altogether, the home offers a balance of updated practicality and flexible living, with the studio adding another layer of versatility for buyers wanting extra room to work, relax, a teenagers retreat or place for family to stay.
