Here’s a brilliant starter property or rental earner in a great location for families. With the original polished jarrah floorboards in most rooms, high ceilings and renovations already done to the kitchen, laundry and bathroom, it’s a mid-century charmer ready to enjoy. A fibro and Colorbond cottage on a 660sqm block, it is priced for buyers on a budget to move into without anything to do but stamp their personality on the place. The layout provides some versatility, with an extension to the original building housing a family area that could be used for games or hobbies. The front door opens into the lounge. This air-conditioned room has windows on two sides and an open fireplace, which could have a tile fire installed for cosy winters. Then at the rear, there’s a covered, paved patio for family barbies. Centrally located, the kitchen is a great workspace with white cabinetry and attractive tiling in an on-trend latte colour, a dishwasher and electric cooking. Modern cabinetry and tiling also feature in the bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity, the laundry and the separate toilet. The main bedroom at the front is a king-sized room with an adjoining sleepout that could be used as a dressing room or nursery. One of the others is a double and the third a good-sized single in the newer part of the house. Lawns at the front and back allow lots of space for the kids to play, and a driveway at the side leads through gates to the back yard, where there’s a freestanding single garage and secure parking for the trailer. For guest cars, there’s plenty of off-road parking at the front. Schools, TAFE, a major supermarket, the cinema and pharmacy are within walking distance and town is five minutes’ drive away, adding to this property’s appeal for owner-occupiers or tenants.
