72 Fennell Crescent, Blackalls Park NSW 2283

Delivering sophisticated polish within a house that feels like a home, this gorgeous property is perfect for families yearning to escape to a semi-rural setting, while keeping all the essentials close at hand. Sprawling over half an acre, it offers an abundance of space for kids to run around on and perhaps keep a few chickens or goats, plus there is direct lake access via the creek running along the far edge of the property.

As for the house itself, this has been renovated top-to-toe by the current owners. Airy, open and utterly inviting, the layout has been designed with family living in mind. At the heart of it all is the showpiece kitchen, around which flows a wealth of living space. From here, stacker doors connect indoors to out, enhancing its seamless flow to the entertainers' alfresco. While all five bedrooms are impressively generous, the master is a particular highlight, showcasing a luxe ensuite, walk-in and access to the alfresco. As if that weren't enough, the oversized garage workshop is all set to cater to tradies and hobbyists, complete with mezzanine storage and dual high-clearance roller doors.

With its premium finishes, modern appointments and thoughtful design, everything is in place here for you to simply move in and enjoy. And while it may be a struggle for you to leave your own private piece of paradise, it's nice to know that all of Toronto's shops, dining and services are only three minutes away when you need them.
