The owner of this Henderson Heights home has loved the way it has accommodated his family’s multi-generational requirements so perfectly.
“We’re the original owners and have been there 20 years this October. One year after we moved in, our daughter was born. Later on, my mum moved in with us. She’s in her 80s now, so we need something single level. That’s the only real reason we’re moving actually – it’s been a beautiful family home.”
The proportions, peace and tranquillity have been another unexpected delight.
“My brother lives on a lifestyle block and we’ve always said we’ve got most of the joys of that in our little pocket. It’s a suburban home but it feels very private and secluded.”

The 613sqm property is part of a highly sought-after neighbourhood embracing the area’s stunning native bush and Lake Panorama, with its picturesque walking paths and picnicking spots.
“The lake is one minute away, so you can walk the dog and enjoy the view. It’s a special pocket for sure.”
The two-level brick and weatherboard residence is very spacious, with the 274sqm floor plan offering plenty of room to relax separately as well as come together and connect.
“My wife and I have our own TV room and mum and my daughter have the other side of the house, so there’s a good amount of space for everyone.”

The family were instantly struck with the home’s impressively grand entrance and double height foyer, as well as the generous proportions and classic interior design.
“It’s a solid home and we have maintained it well, we’ve added shutters throughout, new flooring and fresh paint.”
The ground floor offers the kitchen and casual living, as well as formal dining and formal lounge. There is also one bedroom on this level, which is serviced by its own bathroom. All four remaining bedrooms and two bathrooms are located upstairs, including the very large master retreat with ensuite and lovely lake and sunrise views.
The family have also extensively landscaped the property, planting many trees and hedges for extra privacy. A louvred canopy on the deck creates another room and ideal spot for all-weather entertaining.
As well as their home, they have loved where they live.
