“Lakeview” is a charming and spacious five-bedroom, five-bathroom detached bungalow set on an impressive 0.8 acres of mature, landscaped gardens, offering a rare blend of privacy, space and potential in a highly convenient yet tranquil setting. Built in 1972, this well-proportioned home extends to approximately 229.5 square metres (2,470 square feet), excluding the substantial garage which adds a further 59.6 square metres (642 square feet), making it an ideal property for growing families, those seeking multi-generational living, or buyers looking for additional workspace or storage.
