This original postwar home has been updated and well maintained, ready for the next occupants to simply move in and enjoy. Boasting both modern and historic features, the home also provides the opportunity for expansion if you are so inclined.

At the opposite end, the bathroom has been updated with floor-to-ceiling tiles, large walk-in shower, toilet and grand vanity with built-in storage including a linen closest.
The second section of the home is made up of the third bedroom, dining room, kitchen and rear entryway that leads out onto the substantial back deck. The third bedroom or study has built-in storage, air-con and is accessed through glass French doors off the open plan dining/kitchen area. The spacious kitchen has been refurbished with ample cupboard space on three walls, built in pantry and stainless-steel appliances including Miele dishwasher. The rear entryway features a built-in wine rack and coffee station, opening out onto the expansive rear timber balcony.
It is easy to envision yourself relaxing on the tranquil back deck, with timber side screen and trees from the backyard enabling increased privacy. Down the back stairs, underneath the home can be accessed where in addition to two car spaces, there is ample room for laundry facilities, excess storage, trailer and bikes. Underneath the back deck is an additional seating or alfresco dining space, landscaped with blue metal stones and overlooking the magnificent garden.
The garden is a wonderland of opportunity for all, offering a magical play area for children, a savvy way to harvest food and a peaceful place to simply enjoy.
