The vendors of this large family home have reluctantly had to move to find even more room for their growing business, leaving behind wonderful memories. Most years the whole family would gather for Christmas and New Years with plenty of space indoors and out to accommodate and entertain them all. They first discovered this home after countless open homes and it was the incredible view that captured them. It was also the European feel and layout that they had enjoyed from overseas travel that let them know they'd found their home. Wind your way over a pretty stone bridge, down a willow-lined road to Stonebridge Estate, a small village-like community within a farm park on the edge of the city. Here, this large four-bedroom family home offers fabulous rural views out to mountains to the north, and back to Dinsdale to the south. Well-maintained and solid, it was built in the 1990s. A brick exterior complemented with a tile roof and aluminium joinery means it's designed for little maintenance, easy living. Indoors, an impressive tiled entrance gives a taste of what's to come in this classic-styled home. North-facing living areas are flooded with sun, light and those views. The open-plan layout includes the dining space and an excellent working kitchen with heaps of bench and storage space. The family room, gives on to a sunny deck. A separate formal lounge opens up via French doors to the deck too, but centre stage in winter is the gas fire set in a feature schist fireplace with raised hearth. Tucked into the hallway is a good-sized office nook. The north-facing master bedroom invites you to linger a while on a lazy Sunday morning. Perch up in bed with that first-of-the-day cup of coffee, drink in the sun and views. In addition to the four generous bedrooms, is a separate studio unit with kitchenette, bathroom and its own separate entrance. This is the perfect space for the family student who needs a little independence, an elderly parent or simply a separate place for the kids to hang out. Storage is well taken care of in this home too, with two large rooms designed specifically for the purpose set into the rafters above the internal-access double garage. A large, private and sheltered section complements the home. Gardens are well landscaped and include a small orchard. To the north and rear of the house decks give on to an infinity lawn, where there's heaps of room for the kids to play. Living within the farm park also allows access to the communal tennis court. This outstanding home is all about country living but it's still very close to the city. The Dinsdale shopping centre is just five minutes' drive away, says marketing agent Jason Penny.
