Set in the well-established and sought-after Cresthaven Estate in Merrivale Heights, this welcoming freehold home offers generous space, warmth and an easy family lifestyle within a secure homeowners’ association.

From arrival, the sense of space is immediately apparent. Established grounds surround the home, offering plenty of room for children to play, pets to roam and families to spread out comfortably. A double garage, together with additional open parking, makes day-to-day living effortless, while the outdoor areas create a relaxed, open feel that’s ideal for family life.

Running along the side of the home is a full-length, semi-enclosed patio that naturally extends the living space. Stack doors open into the heart of the home, where the lounge and dining areas blend in a light-filled, open-plan layout. A centrally positioned freestanding fireplace anchors the room and comfortably heats the living areas during the cooler Midlands months. Underfoot, genuine Cypress floors add warmth & character.

The dining area includes a neat work-from-home nook for quiet productivity, while still being part of family life. Double doors open out to a paved entertainment area with a pull-out umbrella, ideal for relaxed alfresco meals.

The kitchen is well designed and beautifully finished, featuring a breakfast counter, granite countertops and generous cupboard space. It offers a five-plate Smeg gas hob and electric oven, extractor fan, prep bowl, double sink and built-in wine cubby. There is space for a microwave, two under-counter appliances and a double-door fridge.

The back stable door leads to a practical courtyard with a sink and washing line, while a side door provides direct access to the double garage. Here there is a neat staff toilet as well. Tucked away beyond the courtyard wall is a separate & discreet concrete area, ideal for extra outdoor storage. The kitchen geyser is gas, while the main geyser operates on either gas or electricity, offering flexibility and peace of mind.

Two of the bedrooms are comfortably carpeted and all are fitted with ceiling fans and built-in cupboards. The two carpeted bedrooms are located on one side of the living area, while the main bedroom enjoys added privacy on the other side. The main bedroom is generously sized, with vinyl flooring and double doors opening onto the enclosed section of the patio. The en-suite bathroom includes a bath, shower, toilet and vanity. The second bathroom, conveniently positioned between the other bedrooms, offers a double-basin vanity, toilet and a spacious shower. One of the additional bedrooms opens onto the open end of the patio, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor connection.

The front patio is a standout feature for entertaining and overlooks a level, open common area maintained by the homeowners’ association. You can put a pedestrian gate directly onto this level land, allowing children to play safely within view, enhancing the relaxed and family-friendly appeal of the estate.

This is a warm, well-planned family home in a secure estate setting, offering space, comfort and a lifestyle that truly works. If you’re looking for a home where family living comes first, contact Catherine Rennie - this one is well worth viewing.
