15 Robert Street, Newlands
Big, Bold & Beefy? YIP!
Some homes follow the usual script, others do things a little differently. 15 Robert Street sits firmly in the second category. It feels generous. Flexible. A place where life can spread out. It can adapt to a large family, multiple generations under one roof, or someone smart enough to realise a property like this could help pay for itself.

Inside, the layout offers impressive flexibility. Upstairs features four bedrooms, two with their own ensuites and walk-in wardrobes, along with a separate bathroom. Downstairs has three more bedrooms, a bathroom, separate toilet, and its own entrance, opening the door to multi-generational living, extended family stays, or a potential income stream.

The home itself is low maintenance and restful, with a modern kitchen, large lounge, and a separate dining room that gives everyone space to gather without feeling crowded. A generous laundry keeps the practical side of life tucked away, while the garage with workshop space is ready for projects, storage, or both.

The outdoor spaces deserve their own moment. Outside you'll find a large, beautifully established garden with plenty of room to enjoy the fresh air. There's a sheltered, decked barbecue area complete with handy storage. There's also a fire pit for cooler evenings, and an entertaining space where summer evenings tend to stretch out longer than planned. A deck flows off the lounge, making indoor-outdoor living effortless, while a separate tiered garden area sits ready for trampolines, backyard cricket, or simply a quiet spot to unwind.

Properties with this kind of versatility are rare. The potential speaks for itself. Call us for your private viewing today!

There's a deck off the fourth bedroom for your morning coffee or a sunset drink, while the sun room soaks up all that light and the amazing view, giving you a sunny spot to read, relax, or sneak a quiet moment.

5 Pimlico Place, Newlands
Best BEO for a Four Bed? YIP!
Set quietly at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this home offers a welcome escape from the everyday. With a semi rural outlook and sunshine pouring in throughout the day, it's a place that feels relaxed, bright, and instantly easy to be in.

The heart of the home is the open plan living area airy, light filled and designed for connection. High ceilings enhance the sense of space, while the modern kitchen keeps everyone together, whether you're cooking, hosting, or catching up at the end of the day. It's a layout that works just as well for busy family life as it does for laid back weekends.

All four bedrooms are well proportioned, offering genuine flexibility for families, guests, or working from home. A family sized bathroom, additional separate toilet, and dedicated laundry add everyday practicality, while generous storage keeps things neat and organised.

Outside the fully fenced backyard is a safe and sunny haven for children and pets, with room to entertain or simply enjoy the peace. Off-street parking makes hosting easy, and despite the quiet setting, you're only minutes from Newlands shops, schools, motorway access, and public transport.

81 Stewart Drive, Newlands
Sunny & Spacious? YIP!
Sunny living, a decent sized section, four proper bedrooms and a smart layout. 81 Stewart Drive is spacious where it counts and easy to live in.

The kitchen, dining and living area naturally draw everyone together. Dinner prep doesn't mean disappearing from the conversation, and the dining table ends up being used for everything from homework to late night chats. The connection between spaces feels easy and intuitive, so whether it's busy weekday routines or relaxed Sunday afternoons, it handles both without fuss.

All four bedrooms offer real proportions - no 'single bed and a squeeze' situations here. There's room for growing kids, guests, flatmates, or a proper work from home setup. The separate toilet is a quiet hero in the mornings, cutting down the queue and keeping the peace.

Outside the fully fenced backyard is more than just lawn. It's secure, usable and big enough to actually enjoy. Think backyard cricket, pets with room to roam, or finally putting in those raised veggie beds. For families, it's freedom. For investors, it's the sort of outdoor space that makes a property easy to rent and easy to hold.

The internal access garage offers generous space plus room for tools or storage, and there's additional off-street parking for extra vehicles or weekend visitors.

Set in a good location close to schools, shops and everyday essentials, everything you need is within easy reach. This home is sunny, spacious, and ready to go. Whether you're settling in with family or securing a smart addition to your portfolio, call us for your private viewing today.

The Dream Family Home? YIP!
Welcome to one of Johnsonville's best kept secret: The Dream Family Home. 56 Bould Street blends massive flat and fully fenced section, beautifully renovated, bonus sleep out, double garaging with plenty of off-street parking and smack bang in central Johnsonville!

The owners have invested serious time and care into the entire property. It gives a "lifestyle block" feel but is the entertainers dream. Host the summer BBQ's, lets the pets roam free, host an outdoor movie night, the options here are endless.

Inside, the main home offers four bedrooms, plus a bonus sleepout with its own bathroom attached to the double garage-perfect for long-term guests, a teen wanting their own space, or simply giving everyone a little breathing room.

The renovations throughout are thoughtful and modern. The designer kitchen flows into the living space, anchored by a cosy wood burner for winter. When the sun's out, open the doors to the deck and spa area (spa negotiable), with peaceful views, surrounding trees, and that quiet retreat feeling. And yes-double glazing throughout, because comfort matters.

As a final surprise, tucked underneath the house is an extra room with its own entrance. Call it a man cave, a she shed, a games room, or a quiet spot for a book and a wine-either way, it's your own little hideaway.

Homes like this are hard to come by. Set back from the road down the driveway, it's your private, rural-feeling escape right in central Johnsonville. Come and see why families fall in love with it-call us for a private viewing today!
