Calling all handypersons, builders, FIFO workers, and anyone willing to apply some elbow grease to a special project. This 3 bedroom home is filled to the brim with character and has barely changed since its original 1950s construction. While features such as the cosy brick fireplace, French doors, tin roof, and timber floorboards are charming and rustic and worth retaining, there's also boundless potential for upgrades and renovations. A new kitchen and a bathroom makeover would do the trick nicely. Pull up the carpets in the bedrooms and give the whole place a coat of paint and it'll be fresh as a daisy. Add your own touches to the yard in the form of garden beds or a lawn and you'll feel right at home in no time.
With a block size of over 1,000sqm there's also loads of potential to add new features entirely or embrace the relaxed lifestyle that this property already encourages. The patio space in the rear and the sweet front verandah are great for spending time solo or socialising with loved ones. Grab a cuppa out the front each morning and enjoy the serenity of birdsong or host BBQs or weekend catchups under the shade of the patio. The established trees make for a lovely leafy outlook either way. The shed and covered storage space will keep your equipment such as gardening tools, trailer, or firewood safe from the elements but why not build a powered workshop instead? Handy double gates at the side of the house already allow for vehicle access to the backyard, and there's plenty of useable space to indulge your whims.
Features include:
• Character-filled home - Hardiplank & tin roof construction circa late 1950s • 3 bedrooms • 1 bathroom • Separate living & dining rooms • Wood floors in main living areas & kitchen • Wood burner in living room • Living room has double doors that open out onto front verandah • Rear undercover patio • Unpowered shed in back yard • Double gates at side, giving drive in access to back yard

It's perfect if you're seeking a true tree change and an escape from city life. There are also recreational activities including golf and swimming, the skate park is a fun spot for kids, and there's even a go kart track for something a little different! With a library, café, grocery store, bus stops, and all the facilities that are essential for everyday life, it's a fabulous place to retire to or set up as your home base. Plus it's less than an hour's drive into the city, so you can still easily travel in for work or play. (Tree) change your life.
