Whether you're looking for your first home or your next investment, 3 Kirkcaldy Crescent is one property you'll want to get in front of early. Fresh, comfortable and ready to enjoy, this three-bedroom home has had everything done, meaning you can simply move in and get on with life. The updated bathroom features a shower over bath, while fresh paint and new curtains add to the home's tidy presentation. There's a separate kitchen and dining area, a comfortable living room with heat pump for year-round comfort, and the added reassurance of a Healthy Homes Report being available. Outside, the large, fully fenced section provides plenty of room for children and pets, along with good off-street parking and a single garage. But there is a real bonus here - an additional freestanding powered cabin. It's a fantastic extra space for teenagers, guests, a home office, hobbies or simply somewhere to escape to. For investors, this one deserves a closer look. A rental appraisal of $690-$720 per week is available - so grab the calculator, run the numbers and see whether you can beat the first-home buyers to it. For first-home buyers, it's equally compelling - three bedrooms, a garage, a big section, additional cabin and a home where the hard work has already been done. Move in and enjoy or add it to the portfolio - but don't expect to be the only one doing the sums. Get in touch today to arrange your viewing.

Sadly, this property has fallen into a state of disrepair of mammoth proportions. However, it does offer an opportunity for some hardy souls, to put in some serious effort and reap the rewards. Built in 1968, this ‘Beazley’ home comprises three bedrooms and sits on a 640m2 section. There is a large single garage at the rear of the property, a carport adjoining the house and a second single shed with power in close proximity to the house. This project is not for the faint-hearted, but the location alone makes this property well worth consideration.
