8 Ernest Kemp Rise

In one of the most popular neighbourhoods, located down a right of way, this good-looking family home is sited on a private, north-facing section. Being just a short walk to the lake and a two minute drive to the airport and the new retail hub of Kokomea Village, this beautiful, low maintenance property has appeal in abundance.
 
Designed for an easy modern lifestyle, the main living area has great indoor/outdoor flow off both sides of the open-plan kitchen, dining and living. Alfresco dining is a breeze on the expansive north-facing deck off the living area. Cavity sliders can close off a second living space which also accesses the deck through sliders.
 
Three very generous bedrooms all offer double wardrobes with the fourth bedroom also having a separate toilet. There is a family bathroom and an office is a real bonus too. In addition to a walk-in robe and ensuite, the super-sized master also has sliders opening onto the deck.
 
A higher 2.55m stud throughout lends a feeling of spaciousness and this theme is also reflected in the amount of storage on offer. Benefitting from its sunny north-facing aspect and double-glazing,  this home is extremely warm. Additionally, in the winter months, a logburner and heat transfer boost the warmth even further. Gas infinity hot water provides an endless supply.
 
Fully fenced and low maintenance, the section is perfect for keeping children and pets safe. A large concrete pad alongside the oversized internal access garage complete with new laundry, is a great spot to park the boat, camper or trailer. In addition there is ample off-street parking.
 
With such an abundance of appeal, there is something for everyone; out of region families relocating for ”lifestyle” or local families wanting to upgrade. Buyers looking for a perfect lock up and leave would be well suited as would retirees who want to enjoy the superior lifestyle of our beautiful region.
 
Contact Sacha or Penny today to come and see this delightful home in a great location.
