6 Derna Road, Holsworthy, NSW 2173

Some families simply need more from a home. Perhaps Mum and Dad are getting older and you want them closer. Maybe your parents live overseas and when they visit, they stay for weeks or months rather than a weekend. Or perhaps you're bringing two generations together under one roof, but know that everyone still needs some space of their own.

6 Derna Road has been built for the kind of family life that doesn't always fit neatly into a standard floor-plan. From the street, it's also quite unlike most homes you'll find around Holsworthy, with a charming façade, terracotta tiled roof and Federation-inspired detailing giving it a warmth and character that has become increasingly difficult to find.

Inside, much of the home remains true to its original era, exceptionally well cared for over the years and now refreshed with new carpet and paint. There's a familiarity to it – generous rooms, warm detailing and spaces that feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. Across two levels are five bedrooms, a separate home office, three bathrooms and two living areas, giving a larger family plenty of room to find their own corner of the house.

But it's the attached accommodation that changes what this home can offer. Connected to the main residence but with the ability to create some independence, it provides its own living and sleeping space, bathroom and kitchen area – with the kitchen approved as a wet bar. For parents, in-laws, adult children or relatives who regularly come to stay, it means being part of the household without everyone having to share every part of it.

When the family does come together, the living spaces extend outside to a covered alfresco area, while vehicular side access leads through to a detached single carport and workshop, adding useful space for cars, storage or weekend projects. The home's position within a quiet cul-de-sac keeps day-to-day life removed from busy through traffic.

6 Derna Road is for someone who values character, needs genuine space and, most importantly, wants a home capable of keeping family close.
