Elevated and super sunny, this rare resort style property on the city's rural outskirts boasts a myriad of family friendly features. Tucked off the highway behind a high fence and assured of a more serene atmosphere once the nearby expressway opens, this brick and block enclave residence has a sparkling in-ground 7m salt water pool.

A generously glazed open plan layout defines spacious, naturally lit, and sun filled living areas where the groovy 1960s provenance is confirmed by attractive native timber flooring. The step down lounge has a cosy log burner fire and the home is also climate controlled by ducted split system heat pump. French doors access the deck with a just few steps to enter the 2021 installed glass balustraded pool the optimum rendezvous for leisurely lolls all summer long. The sunny dining area flanks a modernised kitchen with stainless steel appliances of DishDrawer, underbench oven and cooktop beneath tinted glass back splash. Upstairs bedrooms are all carpeted with built in wardrobes while the master also integrates a small walk-in closet alongside the tastefully tiled, petite ensuite. The large main bathroom with contemporary laminate flooring integrates laundry facilities, shower over bath, and vanity, while a chic powder room toilet is separate. A carpeted stairway descends to ground floor double garaging enclosed by single roller door and incorporating colossal workshop zones. The fourth bedroom is off this area and presents options to redesign into guest accommodation or for extended family with the plumbing connections usefully overhead.

A large back yard makes for a superb playground for kids and pets and there's plenty of room for boat or caravan at driveway end. Well established lawns, fruit trees and gardens dominate the freehold 1012 sqm (approx.) section just a short drive from Bethlehem town centre's shops and services while the nearby river has water sports and picnic spots to savour.
