About this property
Situated at 5 Forbes Drive in the quiet, leafy suburb of St Helier, this well-maintained 3-bedroom home offers exceptional space, versatility and future potential on a substantial 4,235m² stand — with the added benefit of being sub-divisible. The home features three bedrooms, serviced by a shared full bathroom and a master en-suite shower and toilet. The main bedroom includes an additional adjoining room with its own glass door opening onto the large front patio — ideal as a nursery, private study, walk-in dressing room or additional storage space.
A generously proportioned lounge welcomes you at the entrance, complete with a wood-burning fireplace. The lounge flows openly into the dining area and kitchen, while the bedrooms are privately positioned down a short passage. The dining room features French doors leading out to the rear entertainment area, where you'll find a paved swimming pool surround with attractive rockery and grassed section.
The kitchen offers well-appointed cabinetry and ample counter space, with a gas hob already installed. At the rear, a separate downstairs laundry room is fully plumbed for appliances. A double garage with extended covered addition provides extra storage or work-from-home office space. An external shower and toilet with separate entrance adds practical convenience. The entire property is fenced.
The property is sub-divisible with an upper rear portion largely natural in character. Forbes Drive enjoys quick and easy access to the M13 freeway and convenient connectivity to Hillcrest via Old Main Road. An underground fuel pipeline servitude traverses a portion of the land.
