A no-nonsense opportunity with solid bones and real upside. Set on a generous 1072m2 (approx.) section with a second accessway, this solid 1950s timber bungalow offers the kind of space and flexibility that is getting harder to find.

Step out the back and you will find a well-fenced section with established fruit trees and a large, covered deck, ideal for year-round use. Whether it is kids, pets, or future plans, there is space here to make it your own. The size and layout of the land also opens the door to potential development at the rear (subject to council approval). Handy to schools, town, and everyday amenities, this is a property that balances immediate liveability with long-term opportunity. This property is presented for sale on an "as is, where is" basis. Prospective purchasers are encouraged to carry out their own due diligence, inspections, and assessments prior to purchase.
