The modernised kitchen is well appointed with a gas hob and generous pantry, along with defined dining and spacious living spaces. Large windows and two sets of glass doors flood the home with natural light, while an inbuilt wood burner, DVS, and ceiling and underfloor insulation keep things cosy year-round. Four double bedrooms, all with wardrobes, are complemented by a family bathroom with shower over bath, separate toilet and laundry. A bonus studio/hobby room is tucked away at the rear of the single garage, along with a handy tool shed and firewood storage. Handy to the local high school, the solid nature of this 1970s weatherboard classic will be a popular choice for first home buyers, growing families and investors alike! So, put your feet up, fire up the BBQ and get ready for summer, this one's ready and waiting for you and your family!

Now this is what we call a great home to get you onto the property ladder! Affordable enough to get you in the door, tidy enough to move straight in and with more than enough potential to see you right down the track! Situated in a popular pocket of town in a quiet residential cul-de-sac street, this deceptively spacious three-bedroom home has been well cared for by just two owners since it was built in 1983. The north-facing living is a real winner, soaking up the all-day sun and kept cosy with a gas fire and heat pump, with a defined dining area and separate kitchen, and opening to a fabulous deck that stretches the full length of the house. With doors opening from the master bedroom, living and dining, this is the kind of outdoor space you'll quickly claim as your favourite spot to sit and soak up the sun. Inside, the home is perfectly liveable just as it is, with great scope for a modern refresh over time. Three double bedrooms are complemented by a separate office nook, bathroom with bath and shower, separate toilet and laundry with outdoor access. Outside, the 630m2 section is easy-care, with minimal lawns and gardens to maintain along with a large garage with a sealed parking forecourt. No major project here - just a solid, sunny and beautifully liveable home with great outdoor living and the opportunity to add value as you go.
