Your newly renovated home awaits!

Character, countryside and comfort converge at this 1.38ha (3.41 acres approx.) property, where a freshly finished renovation with both Riverhead and Coatesville's coveted convenience bring a contemporary dimension to lifestyle living.

Behind its timeless weatherboard exterior, a considered upgrade gives everyday living fresh definition through a modern-country kitchen appointed with new appliances, a scullery and a serving window, achieving an effortless balance between authenticity and practicality.

Beautifully polished timber floors introduce natural character underfoot while open plan living is warmed by a wood burner and heat pump. The four-bedroom layout continues the family focused approach, led by a main bedroom showcasing a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and direct access outdoors. A modern family bathroom, separate toilet upstairs and double glazing put the finishing touches to a home that places equal emphasis on comfort, quality and functionality.

Beyond the home, the expansive covered deck creates an all year-round social setting for everything from relaxed family dinners to larger scale entertaining and flows to the sprawling lawn offering easy-care simplicity while leaving a blank canvas for future landscaping or pool, before giving way to fully fenced hobby paddocks that provide the flexibility to graze animals, grow your own produce or enjoy the luxury of open space.

A double garage is supported by extensive off-street parking for the boat, campervan and everyday vehicles, while a lean-to, workshop and under-house storage provide the versatility to accommodate projects, equipment and every stage of lifestyle living.

Just minutes from Riverhead cafes, eateries, sports grounds, tennis courts and boat ramp and with Coatesville equally close plus motorway access and Albany Westfield placing wider urban amenities comfortably within reach. This location pairs country freedom and everyday convenience.

With the vendors' move south now set in motion, their motivation to move on means this property will be sold on or before auction day.
