Few homes in this area come close to matching the scale of 1 Parkes – a family-friendly five-bedroom homestead with a striking double-gabled roofline that lends it the name “Green Gables”. Let’s take the grand tour…

From the street, it’s clear this is no ordinary suburban home, such is its double width and distinctive shape. But drive around the fully-fenced back and you’ll feel the extra space even more, with an attractive tree-fringed courtyard drive leading to a barn-like triple garage/workshop and impressive outdoor area. Let’s go inside.

It’s impossible not to be struck with creative character touches around every corner here. The ground floor reveals two vast living spaces at its heart – rich in polished timber flooring, decorative glass, ceiling details and vintage switches. The main lounge includes a feature brick fire place, as does the adjacent dining room – both rooms with wooden paneled walls.

A second, air-conditioned living space occupies the ‘west wing’ of this vast ground floor, sharing this end with the first of two modern bathrooms on this level (both with separate bath and shower) as well as two bedrooms. This living space also offers direct access out to a large timber-decked outdoor space that is a room in itself – a brilliant covered location for entertaining and overlooking the sublime inground pool. You could spend entire summers out here.

Back inside, the eastern wing showcases a large kitchen with farmhouse sink, timber benchtop, dishwasher and gas cooking plus original coal oven. You’ll also love the walk-in pantry, island bench and serving hatch. Rounding out the floor plan here is the internal laundry plus a delightful sunroom with built-in day bed.

Upstairs on one side, you’ll find two more large bedrooms, plus powder room, while the other side is all about your master suite – with large bedroom, ensuite, walk-in robe and bonus study.

Add in awning windows and venetian blinds on every window and you have a character home made for families that want more than just another ‘ordinary’ address. Close to schools, shopping, beaches and more – ‘Green Gables’ is one for your inspection list! Contact the Dimosons Sales Team today on 4258 0088.
