Brillant Location Flexible Space

Room to Grow, Space to Play & a Place to Call Home - Space, Flexibility & Family Living in the Heart of Pokeno

If you're looking for a home where family life can spread out, grow and simply be enjoyed, 20 Selby Street deserves a closer look.

Originally a cosy two-bedroom home, this property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically extended to create a surprisingly spacious three-bedroom, one-bathroom family home with great flow and a relaxed, welcoming feel. It's the kind of home that gives you the space to settle in, make it your own and enjoy the years ahead - whether this is your first home or the next step for your family.

And then there's the backyard.

Set on a generous 1,075sqm fully fenced section, there is room here for the things that make family living fun. Imagine the children having space to run, the pets having freedom to roam and enough room for a trampoline, swimming pool, cricket pitch or simply a fantastic lawn for backyard games, birthday parties and summer afternoons. There's space to entertain friends, relax with a coffee while the kids play, or enjoy having a little more breathing room than you would normally expect this close to town.

The connection between the home and outdoors is particularly appealing. The lounge, kitchen and bedrooms transition naturally towards the covered rear deck, creating an easy extension of the living space and a sheltered spot for family meals, entertaining or relaxing whatever the weather. It's a home designed around how families actually live.

Inside, comfort has been well considered too. Double glazing, heat pumps and a closed fire help create a warm and cosy environment throughout the year, while plenty of storage means there's room for the inevitable toys, sports gear, school bags and everything else that comes with busy family life.

The master bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, while the other two bedrooms have wardrobes of their own. Three bedrooms means everyone can have their own space, while the generous living areas bring the family back together.

And just when you think you've seen it all, there's another bonus.

The separate building/sleepout and single garage add a level of flexibility that is increasingly hard to find. Need a home office while you work from home? A gym? A hobby room? Somewhere for teenagers to escape to? Extra space for visiting family? It can evolve with you and your family's changing needs.

Location completes the picture. You're just a stone's throw from the heart of Pokeno, with schooling options close by and easy access to motorway connections north and south. State Highway 2 is also within easy reach, making commuting, school runs, work and weekend adventures remarkably convenient.

With further development happening in the area, Pokeno continues to grow - making this a location where family convenience, community and future opportunity come together.

This isn't simply a house with three bedrooms and a big section. It's a place where children can grow, families can come together, pets can roam and life can be enjoyed.

With its generous backyard, versatile extra space, comfortable family living and incredibly convenient location, 20 Selby Street is a home with room for your family to make it their own.

Come and see just how much family life could fit here.

Our estimate$708,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
