On about 665 square metres in a quiet street, this house offers a great start-up for a first-home buyer or an investor wanting to start or add to a property portfolio. Each of three bedrooms has built-in wardrobes and share a bathroom across the hallway; there’s a second enclosed toilet in the laundry. Floorboards are a feature in the lounge room and the good-sized family-meals area where there’s a series or archways, one of which is a servery from the updated skylit kitchen. A stack of blonde timber-veneer cupboards, dishwasher, stainless-steel wall oven and 900mm gas cooker under a canopy rangehood equip the cooks’ space. Ducted heating and evaporative cooling take care of climate control. The property has a steel garage in the backyard where there’s plenty of scope for a gardener’s tricks, and a patch of concrete invites a future pergola. Easy access to schools, shops, transport and Western Ring Road are other attractions.
