Set on 725 sqm on arguably Balgownie’s best street, 28 Wellington Drive is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home of rare warmth and mid-century charm.
Built in the 1980s, the home proudly showcases more than a few of its original features inside, but is impeccably maintained and beautifully balanced with modern upgrades.
Aaron Dean of Stone Real Estate Illawarra said the supremely private residence set across two impressive levels sported a “universal” floor plan that needed to be seen in the flesh.
“The main bedroom and living are upstairs, and the remaining bedrooms are located downstairs with its own side access and living area to accommodate a teenager’s retreat-like feel,” he said.
“Imagine friends and family gathered around the oversized kitchen where you’ll prepare meals, with more guests enjoying the large, covered deck and spa downstairs, spilling out onto the endless grassed area for games/entertainment.”
Upstairs is the heart of the home, where you’ll find multiple living spaces including a beautiful sunken lounge with a wood fireplace, perfect for curling up in front of with a good book and a glass of wine in the cooler months.
On this level is also a family room, a formal dining room and an upgraded kitchen with 40 mm stone benchtops, a dishwasher and a steam oven.
This flows seamlessly out to a balcony where you can take your morning coffee and soak in verdant surrounds and birdsong.
Downstairs is a super-sized entertainer’s deck complete with shade sails, a spa to relax in and ample yard area.
“Where the land stops, a lush bushland reserve begins, so the backyard is endless in a sense,” Aaron said. “The surroundings are leafy and tranquil, and it’s really lovely hearing the sounds of nature while enjoying your morning coffee or evening wine.”

Other features include ducted air-conditioning, a 6.9 kW solar system, an enclosed carport plus workshop/studio for the tinkerer, a handy storeroom, a home office or study and a cellar.
Set amid a glorious bush garden backdrop, the home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac just 600 m from Balgownie Public School and 1 km from the shops and cafes of Balgownie village.
The nearest CBD bus stop is 600 m away and James Pearson Park and playground are about 700 m away. Pristine Towradgi Beach is a short drive away.
“The location is one of the greatest drawcards of this home,” Aaron said. “It is very family-friendly and neighbourly, with no back or side fences separating the surrounding homes and positioned on a cul-de-sac street.”
