5 Laburnum Street Parkdale

On the beach side of the Nepean Highway, this c1921 family home, set on approx 858 square metres which is generous by Parkdale standards, tells its story the moment you arrive. A white picket fence frames gardens that feel more like a park than a front yard, with a wide verandah and a splash of red on the front door adding just the right touch of charm.

Inside, three-metre ceilings soar above polished timber floors, while the central hallway draws you through to the heart of the home. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with European appliances, timber benchtops and an island bench that’s made for conversation. It overlooks the family and meals area, with the living room positioned nearby, creating a natural flow between cooking, dining and relaxing. With garden-facing windows softening the ambience and space to stretch out, it creates a calm retreat on busy days and works perfectly for entertaining.

Step outside and you can picture summer nights unfolding on the timber deck with barbecues, and wine and cheese shared with friends. Beyond, the lawn stretches wide and green, with room for children to run, a swing in the trees, and veggie planters for home-grown produce.

Two bedrooms greet you at the front of the home, including the main with twin robes, an open fireplace and an ensuite bathroom finished with beautiful Italian tiles. The second bedroom has a window seat and built-in storage. In their own wing, bedrooms three and four sit beside a fitted laundry and the family bathroom, which is a standout in itself. With a clawfoot bath, separate shower, vanity and tiling that echoes the ensuite, it ties the interior together with style. Bedroom four flows into the sunroom, a large and light-filled retreat with double doors to the garden. With its soothing outlooks, it works equally well as an additional living area, a playroom or a beautifully inspiring home office. Split systems in every bedroom, ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a carport complete the picture of comfort.

The location adds even more appeal, with Parkdale Station, Como Parade shops, Parkdale Plaza and local cafés all within walking distance. Bradshaw Bushland Reserve and the beach bring nature and leisure to your doorstep, while Parkdale Primary School and Parkdale Secondary College make this an address that families will value for years to come.
