9 Chesney Drive

THE PROPERTY Set on approximately 651 square metres with three living zones, a broad frontage and a deep rear yard, this move-in ready family home has the space and outdoor appeal to make everyday living feel easy without having to do a thing. Timber floors bring warmth through the interior, beginning in the front living room where large windows frame green outlooks. The meals area sits alongside a renovated kitchen where stone benchtops, sleek white cabinetry, marble-look splashback, a four-burner gas stove, wall oven and dishwasher create a practical cooking hub. Beyond this, a large family room adds welcome extra living space, with a textured stone feature wall, relaxed garden outlooks and a north-facing aspect. Sliding doors open to a huge covered entertaining deck where there's plenty of room for loungers at one end and a dining table at the other. The backyard is a real asset, with lawn for children and pets, a cubby house, sheds and the depth to consider future extension plans if desired (STCA). Three bedrooms, each with built-in robes, share a central bathroom with bath, walk-in shower and separate adjoining toilet. There's also a study nook tucked off the family room that can be closed off when someone needs to focus, plus a laundry with outside access. Ducted heating runs through the home, the living room has a split-system air conditioner for summer, and there's off-street parking for two cars beside the leafy front garden.
