Get your foot in the door of a first house, start your investment portfolio or retire and be close to the family in this single- storey gem.
Anyone looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle will be right at home in this compact house down a long driveway, well away from the road.
Ivory-white gravel borders the front courtyard, which provides plenty of off-street parking in front of the house.There’s also a single, remote-controlled garage.
Large multi-paned bay windows across the width give the house a classic facade. Its functional layout features a spacious main bedroom to the left of entry, anchored by polished, floating floorboards and with a built-in wardrobe.
Entry leads straight into the living hub, which has ceramic floor tiles throughout the family-meals area and kitchen.
The heart of this house lies in its large kitchen with white laminate cabinetry, dark green laminate benchtops and stainless-steel appliances, including wall oven, gas cooktop and rangehood. The kitchen overlooks a light-filled family-meals area thanks to oversized windows on every wall. And this space opens to a spacious and private backyard – great for family entertainment and having the friends over for a barbecue in the warmer months.
Two more generously sized bedrooms towards the rear of the house have built-in wardrobes and plush grey carpet.
All these rooms are serviced by the large main bathroom which has a glass-framed corner shower and tiled inset bath; there’s a separate toilet.
The house is close to all amenities, public transport, shopping, schools and parklands. It also includes the bonus of no common ground and no body corporate fees.
