Ocean Grove 16 Hillson Grove

The first thing that strikes you about this property is the privacy...the peace and quiet melt away the hustle and bustle of life the moment you enter the estate in which this lovely home sits. Ahhh...Woodlands! Bordering on the Wallington nature reserve in a serene bush setting, this property maximises the elements of coastal country living in many special ways.

Set back from the tree lined street on an acre of land, you would never know you had neighbours (other than the resident native birds!) unless you purposefully sought them out. The circular drive curls around the front of the home providing the perfect site for a cottage garden which is pleasantly viewed from each of the rooms along the front of the ranch style home. The formal lounge, master bedroom (with walk through robe, ensuite shower room and separate wc), second and third bedrooms plus the study/fifth bedroom all appreciate the outlook over this and the lawned area beyond.

The kitchen/meals and fourth bedroom are beautiful places to enjoy culinary pursuits and rest with a vine covered alfresco outside of their windows (and access doors) but then, so is the dining room equally pleasant with yet another leafy alfresco area through the French doors. At the opposite end of the large home, a spacious family room captures all of the filtered afternoon sun and also has access to the rear verandah.

This home just continues to give! A full family bathroom with both a regular and hip bath (in the shower), second separate wc and utility room that incorporates laundry and additional cooking space with the inclusion of benches, drawers, cupboards and a rangehood to eliminate cooking aromas permeating the entire home. A studio/workshop/gym at the end of the verandah is ideal for hobbies and the oversized double carport is hidden from view with direct access to the rear of the home. To complete the practical elements, there is also a handy garden shed, ducted vacuum system and new digital television antenna.

But that is far from the end of the very long list of features that home is proud to share! Aesthetically pleasing, the shuttered colonial double hung windows add charm and character whilst ducted gas heating, 2 reverse cycle air conditioning units, a simulated gas coal fire and Coonara heater all ensure comfort and atmosphere throughout the changing seasons. 5 skylights fill the rooms with light during the day and driveway sensor lights help with nighttime navigation around the property. 8.5 foot ceilings are rare these days but certainly enhance the feeling of space that this home exudes and the north facing aspect is highly desirable for those keen to take advantage of a passive solar existence. In fact, self-sustainability in all of its many glorious forms would be possible here with plenty of room to grow the ultimate kitchen garden and modern St George appliances to prepare them in.

For a lifestyle that incorporates all of the joys of country living but with a location that is less than five minutes from ocean beaches and everyday conveniences, you simply cannot go past this affordably priced Woodlands home.
