Country living close to city life
Boasting enviable views and a hit with the local bird and wildlife, enjoy life in the leafy foothills in this stunning Flagstaff Hill home.
A Flagstaff Hill property could be the home among the gumtrees you’ve been looking for, and offers a country-style lifestyle without being too far from the hustle and bustle of city life. Martin Ebourne bought the home at 36 Sturt Approach, Flagstaff Hill back in 2010, attracted by the space the property offered his family, and that stunning view over the surrounding valley.
“That view out over the reserve was just beautiful, and we really loved the area,” Mr Ebourne says. “We’ve got three kids and there was plenty of space for everyone, and some great local schools nearby.”
The home offers more than 300sqm of living space and has five bedrooms – the upstairs master suite complete with a walk-in robe and an ensuite – several formal and informal living spaces, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area and an expansive elevated decked entertainment area overlooking the valley.
“It’s great for entertaining,” Mr Ebourne says. “I’ve never got bored of the view because it always changes, and we often have koalas, tawny frogmouths and rosellas in the garden.
“It feels like you’re living in the country but everything you need is close at hand. It’s ideal for a family.”
