More than Meets the Eye

Quick! This charming 3-bedroom home with a sleepout is tucked away and won’t stay secret for long…

Our vendors have purchased elsewhere and urgently require an unconditional sale!

In the heart of Hilltop, just a short stroll to Hilltop Primary, the Mole & Chicken, and the lake, sits a delightful home that hides its magic well. Step beyond the gate—and get ready to fall for a property that blends charm with clever functionality.

On the delightful side: there’s a fabulous north-facing deck with a peek of the lake; a sunny skylight in the modern kitchen; a luxurious clawfoot bathtub in the spacious bathroom; and a welcoming wood burner, perfectly paired with a convenient heat pump and ventilation system.

On the practical side: the home is double glazed throughout; boasts a sleepout with its own consented bathroom and coffee nook; low maintenance grounds with minimal lawns to mow; and a highly desirable address that’s as convenient as it is investment-savvy.

Perfect for families, holiday makers, active couples/singles, downsizers—or anyone wanting a smart buy in a standout spot.

Asking Price $969,000

Wonderful stress free experience selling our home with Abbie. We can't recommend Abbie highly enough. She was very friendly yet professional throughout and her calm demeanour helped us through the whole process. Hardworking and knowlegable of the market. Both Abbie and Julie worked well together, they communicated regularly with us, which was very reassuring. And best of all, our home sold in record time, we were thrilled. Already recommending Abbie to our friends.

"Abbie and Julie were incredible to work with. From initial comprehensive market analysis in appraisal, to providing an excellent "do to list" before putting on the market (and the "if time- less for purchaser to do" list). Nothing was missed. They were available to answer all our questions throughout the whole process. Open home and private showing feedback was provided each time with useful information and temperature gauge of how property may be placed to sell, or what may be needed to get the right price. Expectations were kept realistic and when the deadline came, multi offers were presented which resulted than a higher than our initially expected price. This was our first time working with an agent who works with both seller and buyer, so we were dubious however Abbie went well and beyond ensuring both parties were well informed and happy with everything. No surprises or hidden things popped up. I would not hesitate to recommend Abbie and Julie as their professionalism and wonderful personalities made a potential stressful situation a very enjoyable process. If I could rate 10 out of 5 stars I would!"
