The existing three-bedroom residence offers comfortable, functional living with ducted air-conditioning, ceiling fans throughout, two bathrooms, and a family room suited to everyday use. An original kitchen adds character and provides a solid base for renovation, while the undercover rear balcony overlooks the yard and offers a peaceful outdoor retreat.
The corner block position is a true highlight, allowing for separate access points and enhanced usability of the land. A single carport with a lockable workshop or storage area services the main home, while the generous, level yard opens the door to a range of value-adding possibilities; from further improvements to potential dual-occupancy or secondary dwelling considerations (STCA).
Adding to the appeal is the self-contained bedsit located at the rear of the property. Converted from an extended garage, it includes a bedroom, bathroom, laundry, air-conditioning, and a private, fully fenced setting. This space lends itself well to short-term accommodation, guest or extended family use, or as a holding income while future plans are explored.
