Providing a family with all the space they need to live a great life, 24 Starritt Place is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in a peaceful pocket of Macarthur with abundant living spaces and thoughtful extensions.

This property features three separate living areas, including a formal sitting room at the front of the home, a family room, and a large open-plan living-dining space that accommodates a 12-seat dining table, providing ample room for the whole family to spread out.

“Family living and entertaining are at the heart of this home. The number of rooms means that it’s easy for each member of the family to find their own spot, but it also means that the owner can entertain some big groups,” LJ Hooker Tuggeranong agent Sally McCallum said.

Versatility is an integral part of the home, and features like the study on the ground floor open up a lot of possibilities.

“The study is quite a large room and it has built-in shelves. It even has its own entrance, which is great for a home business, as you can bring in clients, but if you wanted to remove the shelving and use the study as a fifth bedroom, that would work too,” Sally says.

“And a second main bedroom downstairs with an ensuite means that teenagers or older members of the family can have their own space.”

An extension has added a retreat upstairs, where the parents can enjoy a floor of the home entirely to themselves.

“The main suite is private and segregated, with high ceilings, two walk-in wardrobes, a private verandah and a spacious ensuite with a hydrotherapy spa,” Sally says.

The privacy and seclusion of the main bedroom underscore the home’s versatility. While the property is an entertaining powerhouse, residents can easily retreat to their own private spaces.

“In that sense, the home has an almost resort feel; there’s this sense of openness and life, but peace and quiet are very easy to find in this property,” Sally says.

To say the home has a resort feel is an understatement. The home’s living space opens out into the property’s substantial outdoor space.

The outdoor space features a pergola, a verandah, and a larger dining area. The centre of the outdoor space is the heated pool.

“The pool is a beautiful centrepiece for the backyard space and the sun deck is a great addition,” Sally says.

“Weekends in Summer at this home must be amazing.”

Located at the top of a cul-de-sac, bordering paddocks and a nearby reserve, the property’s position affords peace and quiet.

“It’s a lovely, quiet spot, and its position at the end of the street means you don’t get cars constantly coming up and down all day,” Sally says.

The property is also within walking distance of a playground, and the Chisholm shops are just a few minutes’ drive away, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and clubs.

“The position is great, especially as Macarthur is quite a well-regarded little suburb with lots of families,” Sally says.

Few homes ever quite manage to balance the needs of communal family living and privacy; this property manages to do so with ease.
