Epitomising the Riverina lifestyle of leisure, entertainment and outdoor activity, 29 Plunkett Drive is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property in Wagga’s blue-chip suburb of Lake Albert, with a truly unique offering.

Across an expansive floor plan, this property provides a family with the space they need to entertain, rest, work, and do everything in between.

“This is a practical floorplan built for a family to both come together and enjoy some quality time, while also giving everyone space for their own activities,” Professionals Wagga Wagga agent Paul Irvine says.

A large open-plan living/dining space, served by a large kitchen with a walk-in pantry, a massive island bench, and a five-burner cooktop, serves as the home’s communal hub.

“While an additional games room, lounge room and study add a lot of versatility to the property. There’s so much space for people to spread out,” Paul says.

“And the kitchen is really ahead of its time. It was built for daily cooking for a big family but also for big crowds when the owner entertains, and in a house like this, entertaining is a no-brainer.”

“But the bedrooms are so large that each member of the family has their own zone to retreat to. Teenagers and school-aged children could easily set up study desks in their rooms and have the privacy they need to excel,” Paul says.

The main bedroom stands as the home’s premier private retreat, featuring a large walk-in wardrobe, refurbished ensuite with a frameless shower and a floating timber vanity with a backlit mirror.

“As an added bonus, the main bedroom has a door leading directly out to the swimming pool; it’s easy to duck out in the middle of the night and have a swim,” Paul says.

Outdoor living is a significant part of this property and considering the half-acre block size, it could very easily be the number one selling point for some buyers.

The driveway leads through one garage to the powered double shed out the back with roller doors and a workshop area.

“It’s perfect for boats, caravans, trailers, whatever you want. With the amount of space you could really fit anything and the workshop means home projects are easy to manage,” Paul says.

But that’s not the half of it. The property features a large front lawn that sets it back from the street, as well as a large yard in the back. Despite its size, it’s easy to manage thanks to the Husqvarna automatic mower included with the home.

The alfresco area features a fully functional outdoor kitchen with prep space, sink, built-in barbecue, fridge, ceiling fan and TV. These assets are positioned right next to the sparkling pool.

“Part of the Riverina lifestyle is entertaining, having people around and enjoying the great outdoors. The outdoor space makes this so easy. I’ve heard stories from the owners of coming home and their kids have friends over, hanging out at the back, using the pool,” Paul says.

“That sort of lifestyle is classic Riverina. People who live in this area want to be able to bring people over, entertain big crowds and do it all in a great outdoor space.”

This part of Wagga is renowned for its walking tracks, bike trails, schools, the Country Club, the Boat Club, and the Lake Albert shops, all within walking distance.

“For leisure, play, rest, work, whatever a family may want, this home provides it in spades,” Paul says.
