A short drive from the centre of town, this is an attractive proposition for owner-occupiers or rental investors on the lookout for a shrewd real estate deal. From its location in a quiet street on the sunny side of Mt Melville, the neatly presented brick and tile home enjoys a far-reaching outlook to the Porongurups from the front and to the coastal hills and islands of Middleton Bay from the back. It would benefit from a facelift, but the home is in good condition and well worth a modest extra investment to transform it into a modern residence to live in, sell on or rent out. All the rooms are well proportioned, so there’s plenty of elbowroom to please families, or couples needing to accommodate houseguests. At the front is the comfy lounge with a big picture window to make the most of the outlook and a Kerosene oil heater as well as reverse-cycle air conditioning. Next is the generous dining area and then the good-sized kitchen, both with views to the coast. The three double bedrooms are at the back, alongside the bathroom with bath, shower and vanity, the separate toilet and the laundry. Complementing the living areas is a patio, complete with brick fire pit and with space for a family-sized outdoor setting for summer relaxation. This is at the end of the enclosed garden, which has a shed, lemon, loquart and orange trees and an area of lawn for children’s playtime. In addition to the carport under the main roof, there’s off-road space for two more vehicles behind. A good-sized block of 597sqm, security screens to doors and windows, and its proximity to all amenities are other notable advantages of this property. Discover its potential and consider the many everyday rewards of owning a highly appealing home in a terrific central location with easy access.
