A luminously beautiful property, somehow both understated and homely yet twinkling with its own effortlessly exquisite energy, this carefully renovated character residence has a classic layout but contemporary sense of ease.

On the doorstep of Henderson Valley, it’s set somewhat to the front allowing a truly expansive stretch of lawn. The kernel at the heart of your most treasured memories will be this back garden, a place for every Christmas for forever to be shared under the thick canopy of one of the mature trees.

It is rare a home that offers a sense of lifestyle living at an affordable price point reaches the market so close to urban amenities. Happily elevated to afford picture-postcard views, and retaining all its period features such as burnished timber floors enhanced throughout by a perfectly on point renovation, the gentle thoughtful changes, such as the meticulously crafted wainscoting through to the simplicity of forged coat hooks that wait for little rain splattered coats from an afternoon out exploring will capture your heart.

It is a life characterised by simplicity, quality and peace. There is what you need; generous light-filled bedrooms, a separate laundry, internal garaging, a covetably private sun-kissed back deck, but none of the nonsense – just enduring finishes and decades of memories waiting to be made.

If your values are family time, a community with its own tame bunny that wanders about and horses that pass their afternoons in the sheltered sunshine, this is the address for you. A canvas that perfectly dovetails care, attention and the hard work being done, with the opportunity to adorn a space with the hallmarks of taste uniquely meaningful to your family.

Henderson Valley School offers a lovely start to schooling life while weekends will be spent exploring the West Coast’s inimitable black sand beaches or local farmers markets.
