To buy or not to buy, that is the question.
The answer could well lie within this brick-veneer residence in a quiet enclave of Delahey.
Established gardens with flowering plants, citrus trees and a large conifer create private leafy surrounds.
The large family room is to the right of entry and gets plenty of natural light throughout the day.
Three good-sized bedrooms are down the entry hall, each with built-in wardrobes; the main bedroom (left of entry) also has an en suite.
The main bathroom services the rest of the house and has a spa, corner shower and dual-basin vanity unit.
Towards the rear, the living hub centres on the spacious kitchen with laminate benchtops and stainless-steel dishwasher, integrated microwave, wall oven and gas cooktop under a rangehood.
It adjoins the tiled family-meals area next door to a separate rumpus room which has a built-in bar that can be closed off by sliding doors
A slider off the meals area opens to an expansive paved barbecue area with vines creeping atop a timber pergola, ideal for privacy.
A powder room, large laundry with built-in ironing board and great storage, and a double garage with rear access to a double carport round out the property. Ducted heating throughout and a split-system deliver climate control. And there will be little need to make a trip to the fruit market as there’s a selection of mature fruit trees in the backyard.
Its location puts schools, shops and transport within easy reach – running errands couldn’t be any simpler.
