Welcome to beautiful Candelo village where this two-story weatherboard home and its idyllic backyard are what family dreams are made of.

Be welcomed 'home' via the wide, north-facing, sun-drenched front verandah, with glimpses of the creek and mountains in the distance. Inside there's an open-plan living and dining area and a family kitchen with dishwasher and gas oven. Down the hall there's two large built-in linen/storage cupboards as well as a separate laundry (with external access), a large family bathroom with bath and shower, an office (could also be a small fifth bedroom) as well as two good-sized bedrooms, both with double built-in wardrobes.

Upstairs, there's a second bathroom with toilet and shower, bedroom three which has a large walk-in wardrobe and the generous master bedroom. The master also has a large walk-through wardrobe and picture-perfect north-facing views from large timber windows. There's a wood fire in the loungeroom as well as a reverse-cycle air conditioner on each level. You'll find bespoke finishes and personality throughout the whole interior of this home like the distressed, pressed-tin splashback in the kitchen, a recycled brick fireplace hearth, exposed timber beams and pine-lined loft ceilings upstairs and pine floorboards throughout.

The personality-loaded custom features continue outside where loads of time and effort has gone into creating a wholesome, family-friendly backyard where you'll hopefully never hear 'I'm bored' again. There's a UV-filtered, heated plunge pool, a custom-built skate ramp, mud kitchen and still plenty of space for a trampoline and swing set. Set on a spacious ½ acre block there's loads of space for the whole family as well as pets and other animals.

For the grown-ups, there's an outdoor dining area, provisions for a wood-fired pizza oven (existing pizza oven not included in sale), enclosed vegie garden, landscaped garden beds, orchard with an array of mature fruit trees, fully-enclosed chook pen and a mower/storage shed. The entire house-yard is dog-proof and also has a separate small paddock at the rear of the block perfect for a couple of sheep. There's also convenient rear access from a reserve should you need to get a vehicle into the backyard.

Set at the top of a quiet street, this property has a large (6mx7m) two-car lock-up garage that's deep enough for extra storage space and a workshop bench. There's also a carport at the front which adds another 6mx9m covered parking space and heaps of extra parking space for a boat, caravan or trailer. The house also features a 5.3kw solar system which easily operates the heated swimming pool and the home's electric hot water and also feeds back to the grid.

The thriving and inviting rural village of Candelo has everything you need including a popular café, general store, service station, post office and pub. There's also a primary school, pre-school and beautiful town park. The regional centre of Bega is 20 minutes' drive away, and the spectacular Sapphire Coast beaches at Tathra, Merimbula and Pambula are all less than 30 minutes' drive.

Imagine your family living out their dreams in this truly special and unique family home where all the hard work has been done.
