2 Tyndall Road, BONNET HILL

Character Home in Leafy Surrounds

Nestled among mature gum trees and established gardens on a huge 5700m2 block this delightful character family home in picturesque Bonnet Hill is only 10 minutes drive to the city and 2 minutes to Kingston Beach. Kingston’s burgeoning new shopping complexes are a five minute drive.

Built in 1995, the two storey home has a brick veneer exterior topped with cedar weatherboards and Colorbond roof. The home features an open plan living/dining and kitchen upstairs with vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams. Expansive windows look out over the ever-changing vista of the gardens and surrounding bush. The spacious blackwood kitchen opens onto a huge (60m2) covered deck, with glimpses of the river through the neighbouring gums. The deck is enclosed with PVC lattice and roofed in tinted polycarbonate, and wraps around 2 sides of the home, providing a very generous year-round outdoor entertaining area.

The master bedroom is upstairs, with semi-ensuite, built in robes and French windows that open onto the deck. There are two other bedrooms down stairs. Both are of good size; one has a built in robe, the other is much larger and can be used as a 3rd bedroom or rumpus room/study or gym. There is the potential to add an ensuite bathroom. The main bathroom is upstairs with bath, separate shower and toilet. There is also a small sewing/linen/storage room and laundry upstairs.

The concreted storage area under the house has both internal and external access. The house also has the potential to build an extension to the north side, for the growing family.

There is a 6x6m Colorbond garage, and a carport under the deck. The yard has been concreted on three sides of the house, providing plenty of off street parking.

At the front of the house there are established deciduous trees and rose beds, and a large lawn flowing down to a frog pond. In the back yard there are fruit trees, an established vegetable garden, more rose beds and a gazebo or play house. About half the block remains natural bush with large blue gums, peppermints, blackwoods, wattles and native tussock grass. The bird life is prolific, including kookaburras and, at times, the 40-Spotted Pardelot.

There is a bus stop on Channel Highway at the back of the garden, and Tyndall Road leads down to Browns River and Kingston Beach - just a 10 minute stroll.

This is a home to delight an active family with young children looking for a lifestyle away from the traditional suburban sprawl, but s [...]
