Character, Space & Soul – A Family Home with So Much to Love

OC First Opportunity. Behind its captivating character façade, 85 Bower Road, Ethelton unfolds into a wonderfully individual family home where period charm, generous proportions and relaxed everyday living come together beautifully. Rich in warmth and personality, the home celebrates its original character with polished timber floors, decorative ceilings, beautiful timber doors, fireplaces and striking leadlight detailing, while thoughtful updates have created a home perfectly suited to modern family life. At its heart is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family zone – a wonderfully welcoming space designed for people to gather. The kitchen makes a statement with deep-toned cabinetry, exposed red brick, stainless steel appliances and a magnificent timber island bench, while an abundance of natural light and extensive glazing connects the living space effortlessly with the garden beyond. And what a backyard it is. Established trees, sweeping lawn, garden beds and an incredible sense of space create a private outdoor haven with room for children to play, pets to roam, vegetables to grow and family and friends to gather. A covered entertaining area provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy it all, while the much-loved treehouse adds another touch of childhood magic. The home's substantial and flexible floorplan is another standout. Four bedrooms are complemented by multiple living areas, including a formal lounge, formal dining room, generous family room and separate study/rumpus. Upstairs, an additional bedroom and large living retreat provide fabulous separation – ideal for teenagers, guests, working from home or simply giving a growing family room to spread out. The two bathrooms continue the home's sense of individuality. One features a beautiful freestanding clawfoot bath, classic subway tiling and playful tiled detailing, creating a space full of charm and character. The second offers everyday practicality with a convenient shower alcove, integrated laundry facilities and a separate WC.
