Overview

A Peaceful Single-level Sanctuary in the heart of Cook

This single-level home is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by leafy greenery, offering a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of Cook. The interiors have been refreshed to provide a comfortable and easy-care living environment, making it an ideal choice for first-home buyers, retirees, or downsizers seeking tranquility and convenience in a sought-after location.

Natural sunlight fills the living room through sliding doors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with views of the garden that add vibrant color and a sense of calm. The adjoining kitchen and meals area have been tastefully renovated, featuring a generous breakfast bar that serves as a natural gathering spot for daily living and entertaining.

A narrow hallway leads to two serene bedrooms, each positioned on opposite sides of a central bathroom equipped with a bathtub for relaxing soaks. Both bedrooms have direct access to the rear courtyard, which is framed by established gardens. The second bedroom extends to a private rear deck, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee in the sun.

The home is thoughtfully designed for year-round comfort and efficiency, equipped with solar power, double-glazed windows, and reverse-cycle air conditioning. These features combine to create a living space that is both easy to maintain and energy-efficient.

The expansive north-facing front courtyard offers a delightful outdoor space for relaxation, complete with a productive lemon tree and a retractable awning that provides shade on sunny days. The low-maintenance native gardens at both the front and rear enhance the property's appeal, complemented by sandstone retaining walls and an Australian-made aluminium slat fence enclosing the front courtyard.

Additional highlights include a single garage with a rear storeroom, off-street parking, and three raised vegetable gardens ready for harvesting. The property is fully electric and features a new electric heat-pump hot water system, enhancing its sustainability credentials.

Conveniently located, a short walk takes you to Jamison Plaza, public transport, and the popular Cook shops, which include local favorites for coffee and dining.
