The stylish renovation in this enduring 1950s weatherboard home takes all the hard work out of property ownership for first time buyers or rental investors. Beautifully presented with original polished timber floors, white walls and modernised interior fittings, this appealingly spacious little gem has it all.

A large airy open plan living area warmed by cosy heat pump incorporates a stunning designer kitchen with glossy black graphic glass splashback and stone topped counters with island bench for socialising for friends and family. When the outdoors beckon, the bi-folds stack back to reveal a useful deck area and lawns for al fresco entertaining too. The yard is fully fenced so that if the kids are scampering about with the dog - they're safe and sheltered. Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms offer comfort and a light ambiance with the master bedroom having the bonus of a walk-through dressing area to a tiled ensuite.

A single garage and off-street parking provide for visitors or 2 car families but with train and bus transport for a city commute just minutes from your front door, your car costs could plummet. In a pivotal location close to a range of community amenities and shopping outlets, the short drive to the various beaches in the eastern bays will make you the envy of your inland-living friends when summer arrives and you're holidaying at home.
