Boxing roos are neighbours of this Macarthur home – Domain News

Many homes can claim a location close to nature, but few can boast front-row seats for title fights between boxing kangaroos.

This four-bedroom home is in the exclusive Bracker Place in Macarthur with direct access to an adjoining nature reserve and walking tracks.

Homeowner Vicki Dempsey says the match-ups between the younger marsupials is just part of the daily passing parade on the other side of her garden.

I sit on my swing with a glass of wine and I watch horse riders, joggers, walkers, people on bikes, everybody just enjoying this wonderful patch of nature, she says.

Vicki says she and her husband, Dominic, moved into the architect-designed home in 2003.

Wed previously rented in Macarthur and promised that if work brought us back, wed buy there, she says.

The couple were attracted to the home and its elevated, but flat block, and a sense of privacy.

It combines the best of both worlds you feel like youre in a rural setting, but youre still only 15 minutes to Kingston, Vicki says.

This well-maintained home on a 944-square-metre block offers open-plan living highlighted by a large sunroom that opens onto low-maintenance grounds, landscaped in a formal style.

The sunroom was an addition, but it presents like its part of the house, not something that was tacked on, Vicki says.

Its one of our favourite places to entertain or to simply sit and enjoy the gardens.

Other features of the home include ducted gas heating, cooling system (ducted and split system), double car garaging and double carport, large under-house storage area, automatic watering system and rain water tank, and a gas outlet for barbecue connection.
