Seventies Charm, Generous Spaces, Endless Potential

On the market for the first time in 47 years, 5 Magnolia Drive is a well-positioned 1970s family home tucked away in a quiet Westown cul-de-sac. Rich in era charm, this is a property that offers generous proportions, character, and exciting scope for those prepared to add value through renovation and ongoing maintenance.

High ceilings and exposed wooden rafters create an immediate sense of warmth and volume throughout the home, while its original features reflect the quality and craftsmanship of the era. The living spaces are generous and versatile, with two distinct zones providing flexibility for modern family living. The combined kitchen and spacious dining area overlooks the lounge, forming a social hub that functions well for everyday family life and entertaining alike, while also offering clear potential for future enhancement.

The sunken lounge flows out to a spacious deck, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The layout and proportions provide an excellent foundation for transformation.

The layout is a standout, ideal for families with teenagers, blended households, or those seeking separation between generations. Four bedrooms are spread across two levels, with the master featuring its own mezzanine for storage and an ensuite. Two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom are located upstairs, while a fourth bedroom downstairs works well for guests, teens, or a home office.

Outdoors, the tiered setting feels like a private retreat, complete with an in-ground swimming pool, established trees, and mature plantings. This sheltered, leafy space has been well-loved over the years and now presents an opportunity to refresh and restore into a true entertainment haven. A sunny courtyard is ideal for morning coffee, while fruit trees and landscaped gardens contribute to the home's privacy and sense of permanence.

Additional features include excellent storage throughout, double internal-access basement garaging, and off-street parking. From the charming brick pathway at the entrance to the enduring appeal of its 1970s construction, this is a home that rewards vision – offering space, separation, and the chance to create something special for years to come.
