An opportunity to secure a property in a suburb that’s in hot demand has come up and this stylishly updated house is a little beauty.

Its simple brick veneer facade is complemented by shrubs and green lawn laid out as a welcome mat.

Polished timber floorboards with timber skirts flow through the entire house and add warmth to the mostly white palette, while moulded cornices and archways enhance character.

All three bedrooms are towards the front of the house (right of entry) and have built-in wardrobes with floor-to-ceiling mirrors reflecting plenty of natural light which floods through large windows.

The spacious north-facing family room to the left of entry gets plenty of sun in the warmer months with an air-conditioner to cool down if it gets too hot. And there’s a gas heater set in a brick surround when the seasons change.

The adjoining meals area flows into the updated polished timber kitchen which has marble benchtops and stainless-steel appliances including a wall oven, gas cooktop and rangehood. The main bathroom and separate laundry are towards the rear.

Inviting the whole family round for a barbecue won’t be a drama any longer thanks to an expansive sheltered entertainment area out the back. A large remote-controlled carport provides plenty of room for a car, with more space in the lock-up double garage at the back to store the boat or trailer.

There is also a shed to lock away all those bulky tools.

The location in the heart of Sunshine is the reason this neighbourhood is highly sought-after: within easy proximity of shops, schools, transport and main arterial roads.
