Beautiful Simonds brick home with stunning rural views sitting proudly on over 2 ½ acres of land on the outskirts of Orbost.

Manicured lawns surround the home and hedges border the front with a small dam, waterlilies and a family of ducks setting that picture perfect scene. This property offers the tranquil, peaceful lifestyle you've always dreamed of.

The home has a feeling of grandeur as you enter the front door and a beautifully, tiled hallway that leads you through a pillared entrance, to a formal lounge with a freestanding wood fireplace as the centrepiece of the room. The fireplace also has a heat transfer system vented to the dining area to spread the warmth throughout the home. A reverse cycle, spit system air-conditioner keeps the home cool during the warmer months. Continue down the hall into a magnificent open plan living area with glass sliding doors opening onto a covered entertainment area and huge backyard.

The kitchen is stylish and practical, with ample cabinetry and benches, 900mm gas hotplates, an electric oven, range hood and a chic tiled backsplash combined with a large walk-in pantry…every Master Chef's dream. The kitchen is the heart of the dining/lounge area which is filled with natural light from large windows that capture the magnificent views of the countryside, neighbouring farmland and stunning sunsets.

At the front of the home, there is a generous master bedroom featuring a full ensuite with spa, shower, toilet and double sink vanity and a sizeable walk-in robe, to maximise your comfort and convenience.

Two other bedrooms with walk-in robes are at the rear of the home and are serviced by a modern family bathroom. There is a separate laundry with plenty of cupboards and separate toilet.

On the outside, the home welcomes you with a traditional facade over the porch and a double garage under roofline with access to the wrap around veranda.
