Last Listing description (December 2023)

Nestled on an approximately 661-square-meter plot, the expansive backyard of this property serves as a blank canvas for your creative vision. Located on a tranquil, low-traffic street, it sits across from the picturesque rural residential estates that contribute to Lara's overall charm. The house itself is in excellent condition and boasts four bedrooms with a well-thought-out layout that separates the primary living area and the master suite at the front of the home. The master bedroom features a bay window, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, equipped with a dishwasher, a 900mm gas cooktop, and a Bosch 900mm range hood, allows the family's chef to oversee the dining area. Beautiful floorboards lead to a second living zone and an outdoor entertaining area. Towards the rear of the house, you'll find the remaining three bedrooms, all featuring built-in robes, a central bathroom, a separate laundry, and a toilet. The combination of a gas heater and reverse cycle air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the year.

Expanding from the primary living and dining area, a generously sized undercover space provides an ideal spot for entertaining, complemented by appealing and low-maintenance landscaping. Furthermore, the two-car enclosed carport, equipped with a remote roller door and drive-through access, offers secure off-street parking for a trailer, caravan, or hobby car.

This location promises a peaceful lifestyle while remaining conveniently close to amenities. It's just a short walk to the train station for commuters, Lara Village for your shopping needs, as well as Lara Primary and Secondary schools. The freeway access is also nearby, making Geelong city a mere 25-minute drive away and Melbourne just 45 minutes from your doorstep. Given the limited availability of affordable homes in the area, this property represents exceptional value that's hard to come by.
