Additional multi-purpose spaces to extend your living options - Buyers' guide price from $750,000

Discover this unique, multi-functional family home with various internal and external spaces to cater for everyone's needs. The current, house-proud owners removed the walls of the 3rd bedroom to increase the living spaces (this can be replaced as part of the purchase if required) and also added a multi-purpose room perfect as guest bedroom or work from home space, along with an enclosed sunroom, pergola-covered timber entertaining deck, a large fully enclosed carport and additional enclosed workshop complete with 3-phase power.

If you appreciate self-sustainability, you will love the 6.5kw solar system and numerous fruit trees and shrubs front and rear along with the chicken enclosure in the rear yard. Located on the foothills of Mt Taylor in this elevated part of Kambah and on the corner of a quiet loop street and a cul de sac, you can enjoy an easy walk to the local shops and school and even get lovely views to the Brindabella's.

There are lots of extras to be aware of, so make sure to watch our detailed, uncut, walk-through video before you inspect (and after). It's our 24/7 salesperson to help you get an excellent feel for the features and benefits of this home inside and out. It's the most informative property video you will watch during your property search, but don't just take our word for it…
