Once host to Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu, this weatherboard residence carries a history few homes can claim. A wide-reaching renovation has reset the property with a finely tuned contemporary approach, where panelling, clean lines and timber floors sharpen the home's original character. At 265sqm, the layout is built for families who do not want to trade charm for capacity, unfolding across four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living areas. A ground-floor guest bedroom with an adjoining bathroom adds flexibility for visitors, teenagers and the longer view of living, while upstairs, the master settles into its own domain, offering the extra space of a walk-in wardrobe and the added privacy of an en-suite. The kitchen cuts a clean line through the open-plan dining and living space, while a second lounge with a gas fire changes the pace entirely, giving the living layout genuine family range. A discreet walk-in pantry and study nook branch off the kitchen, bringing extra function to the heart of the home, while a separate laundry, internal-access double garage and ample off-street parking complete the practical picture. Sliders and bi-folds open to wraparound pergola-topped decking and a poolside terrace, offering end-to-end outdoor living options as the sun and the occasion shift. Across 1,121sqm, the in-ground heated pool draws summer gatherings to its own corner of the grounds, while areas of lawn and mature borders broaden the brief and heighten privacy at every edge. Set well back from the road and elevated above the Heathcote River, the setting delivers privacy, presence and a direct connection to recreation, with river walks across the road, local cafés, the bike park, and tennis and bowls clubs close by, while the city remains only ten minutes away, completing an address designed for family life at its finest.
