A complete renovation project in recent years has transformed this charming 1960s cottage into a comfortable, modern home with a choice of living spaces for relaxation and recreation. Families will be impressed by the affordability of the neat home as well as its proximity to all amenities – schools, shops, medical facilities, the beach and town. Through the front door is the inviting lounge, an air-conditioned room with a wood fire in an open fireplace and a window taking in a lovely outlook as far as Gull Rock and with glimpses of Middleton Bay. The lounge flows through to the kitchen and meals area, with a built-in breakfast bar, ivory cabinetry with stone bench-tops and a five-burner stainless steel chef’s stove. Next is the upgraded laundry, where a door leads out to a paved, undercover patio with a built-in barbecue and bar – a delightful, sheltered spot for parties and family playtime. Another sunny outdoor option is the front patio, which shares the expansive outlook. Off the lounge, a hallway leads to the three double bedrooms, an office or playroom, and the main bathroom with a stylish vanity and the original cast bath with a shower over. The master bedroom at the back of the house has a classy en suite bathroom complete with a spa bath, double shower, toilet and vanity, and a walk-in robe with built-in drawers and hanging space. Floating timber flooring in smart grey, carpet in the family bedrooms and office, tasteful tiling and clean décor finish the home stylishly while both ceiling and underfloor insulation enhance year-round comfort. A driveway on the 728sqm block leads to a garage in the fenced, grassy back yard and there’s ample off-road parking besides. Brick walls with inset timber panels add a contemporary touch to the façade while enclosing the front lawn for children and pets to play. Some original timber sash windows, security screens and a storage shed are other notable advantages of this property. Family buyers as well as investors with an eye on solid rental returns will appreciate the facilities and location of this terrific property.
