It’s the luscious green gardens surrounding 70 Kingsmill Street that allude to the oasis that awaits, both inside and outside the property. Put simply, if you’re looking for a home to help you feel calm, relaxed and well-rested, this is it.

On a chilly winter’s evening, nestle in by the open fireplace and indulge in your favourite post-work activity, be it catching up on a podcast, reading or scrolling aimlessly through social media (this home doesn’t judge).

If the main living area feels too chaotic for your liking, simply escape to the rumpus room where a second fireplace awaits your company.

The gardens’ seclusion and privacy are reminiscent of a rural estate in the highlands, especially as the block itself is more than 1000 square metres.

An elevated timber deck overlooks the gardens. It’s a platform from which to soak in the serenity or host a tranquil dinner party. It’s easy with a gallery kitchen that boasts seemingly endless Caesarstone benchtops and an abundance of storage.

Price guide: $930,000
