Home sweet home: 124 Hilma Street, Sunshine West, 3020

This property has creature comforts galore, including a fantastically large backyard with swimming pool, sheds and lawn.

A recently installed modern gas fireplace with stone-look surround modernises the welcoming front sitting room, where polished timber floors create a great feel.

The kitchen and meals area is inviting for catching up with family and friends here.

The kitchen has Blackwood timber cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances including an oven, separate grill and a five-burner gas cook top.

Walk through to the large family room with enough space for another dining table and a large lounge suite.

Sliding doors lead to an enclosed and paved patio, with power, TV point and electric heater.

The patio overlooks that massive backyard with its in-ground pool and paved surround.

There is a large garden shed at the rear and to the side, a three-car garage, currently configured to house one car, with extensive shelving for a workshop area beyond.

Off-street parking for five or more cars means large gatherings will be made that little bit easier.

Security gates, an alarm, security cameras and security roller shutters on all windows take care of the safety requirements.

The main bedroom, with hardwood floors, a walk-in robe and en suite, is followed by the main bathroom with a corner-set spa and three more bedrooms with built-in robes.

Other features include ducted heating, split-systems and fan lights in some bedrooms.

The property has been owned by a house-proud family for 46 years and is being offered for sale for the first time since the land was sold all those years ago.

Close to parks, schools and shops, and with Ardeer station within easy distance, this pocket of the west is popular with young families.
