In a sought-after location, this is a house set up for virtually zero maintenance when it comes to outdoor areas, with the front yard laid with concrete and the backyard entirely covered with pebbles. So if a busy lifestyle precludes weekend gardening, this one could be of particular interest – and those with gardening in mind have the option to transform the back into a green wedge. There are three bedrooms (two with robes) and a study; the main bedroom has a walk-in robe and full en suite. Living areas are a lounge room and a large family-meals area adjoining the kitchen; each of these rooms is tiled (more easy upkeep). The galley-style kitchen has plenty of top and bottom cupboards, wide fridge recess and gas appliances. All windows are dressed in vertical blinds, and ducted heating and a split-system take care of seasonal comfort. The property, with roller shutters and double garage, is within a walk of schools, Victoria University, parks, shops and transport.
