16 Pine Knoll Drive, Dubbo

Designed by the current owners and built by Rawson Homes in 1986, this unique home has a charm and thoughtfulness that exists only in a residence one creates for their own family. Brimming with features and superbly set on just over an acre in a tightly-held locale, it's no wonder this home of 36 years is only now making its market debut.

With a focus on effortless family living and entertaining, the sizeable floorplan spans two split-levels as the home nestles into the gently sloping block. A central kitchen is handy to all three living areas and the five bedrooms plus study provide accommodation and space for large and growing families.

Outdoor entertaining is a breeze in the covered rear deck and adjacent pool. The landscaped yards provide loads of space for work, rest and play with workshed, established gardens and open stretches of manicured lawns.

This prized location features acre-and-above sized blocks with house-proud residents, some of whom are the original owners of several decades. Retaining much of the natural surrounds, the tranquil setting is home to native birdlife and the popular Troy Gully walking tracks, all within an easy drive to all that Dubbo has to offer.
