Walk through the front gate and instantly be surprised and dazzled! A versatile, well maintained, gem of a property ready to move right in.

This home has been thoughtfully positioned on the block, providing north facing bedrooms and main living areas, meaning you can enjoy sitting in your loungeroom drenched with sun, naturally warming the home on those cool autumn days.

The lounge and dining are framed by two beautiful large windows to enjoy the light and serenity from the picturesque garden. The reverse cycle air conditioning will ensure your comfort all year round.

Just around the corner from the dining and lounge room you'll find the kitchen, which has been tastefully modernised with abundant storage and quality Bosch appliances. The kitchen is welcoming, bright and is equipped with ample bench space to spread out so that your Masterchef fantasy can become reality. Next to the kitchen is a versatile space for kids to study, casual dining or perfect for your coffee and a cuppa.

Stepping into the hallway you will find two double door linen cupboards, a rare treat indeed. The gas heater has a dual flow option, allowing you to heat both the bedrooms and the kitchen/family rooms. Tucked neatly away is the generous laundry, fitted with plenty of cupboard space. Flowing around to the back of the block is an easy-care private courtyard, discrete washing line and Colorbond garden storage shed.

The bathroom offers both a shower and bathtub, perfect for those long days when you want to unwind (tea? Wine? Good book?) and great for those with young kids as the bathtub is low set.

All bedrooms offer large windows with the added bonus of facing North to make the most of the beautiful sun. The rooms are generous in size and offer built in wardrobes. The main bedroom also offers a fan and ensuite with updated vanity, that is cleverly designed to optimise space.

The garage has been fully insulated and carpeted for those wanting, or perhaps a study or kids retreat? You can of course still use this as a garage if you desire. The choice is all yours.

The backyard plays such a big part in what makes this home so charming and practical. It offers access from the laundry and kitchen to the back of the yard, where you will find the Colorbond storage shed & clothesline, as well as a split-level design, with the possibility to add a pool if you wished! Walk through the gate into the side backyard, this is great for those who might wish to put their overly excited dog away whilst entertaining outside. The side yard is great for outdoor entertaining, ready for a large outdoor set (maybe some fairy lights on the Palm tree come Christmas, or just because) and just passed a wall of lush vines is the grass area for kids to run around & kick the soccer ball. The garden is even low maintenance with all plants being drought resistant. Spring and summer see the front garden burst into colour with agapanthus and vibrant carpet roses. In Autumn the leaves changes in to a beautiful array of red, yellow & orange. Mature vines provide privacy in the front grassed yard and tall hedging provides screening in backyard.

To add to the list of many 'pro's' to this home is the location. The home sits on a lovely quiet street, with the Tipping Place playground just a 4-minute walk around the corner and the bus stop a 1-minute walk through a slip street right across from the home!
