CHARACTER HOME IN EXCELLENT LOCATION
What a totally perfect package! A quarter-acre of easy-to-access, flat land in a premium location. Walk to the shops, the cafes, the gym, the chemist, the train station, and pretty much everything really. At the foot of Clifton Hills, you've got Frye Park with basketball courts, acres of playing fields, a great playground and picnic areas, plus the highly respected Clifton Hills Primary School all very close to home.
LIVING HERE
The home presents beautifully and has been modernised to create a truly wonderful place to live. The kitchen is very practical and features ample storage and workspace. It's adjacent to the meals area. The lounge room at the front is a good size and will fit a large lounge and more. The bedrooms are all of a good size and the bathroom is modern and very impressive.
Sitting on a quarter acre, that's 1012 sqm; you've got so much room for so much stuff. There's awesome, easy side access, a workshop, and more. You can park a caravan, a boat, and a trailer, the kids can have a trampoline, some chooks… whatever you want, with this much room to move there's a pretty good chance you'll fit it.

OCCASIONALLY ASKED QUESTION...
Question Asker - You said it's not connected to the sewer, so, um... Where?...
Me - Where does the poo go?
Question Asker - (Relieved they didn't have to say it) Yes
Me - It's serviced by a septic tank system. These have been around for many years, it's not super common in a suburban area but if sewer's not available this is what goes on. They normally require emptying every four of five years and it costs about $900. It's not some guy with a ladle and a bucket, it's a truck with a big sucker upper thing, everything they slurp up goes into a tank on the truck and they drive away with it. All your hard work, gone. The good thing is that the Water Corporation service rates are reduced significantly because of this. It's $275 this year, and most places are about $1100 per year. If you had to do it every two years you'd still be in front; I'll flush to that!
