If you’ve been dreaming of owning your own home and saying goodbye to rent, this could be the perfect place to begin. It’s the kind of home that gives first-home buyers the opportunity to put down roots, build some security and start creating a future of their own.

The owners have loved this home and have put both time and money into making it comfortable, warm and beautifully cared for. It is fully double glazed, well insulated and has an updated kitchen, so many of the big jobs have already been taken care of. It is also Healthy Homes compliant, making it an appealing option for those looking for an investment property.

The lounge is simply gorgeous. Sun pours through the new French doors and flows out to a wonderfully private lawn and garden. It’s an inviting space for a morning coffee, a good book in the sunshine or having friends and family over for a relaxed afternoon.

There are three bedrooms, a separate toilet and a separate laundry, giving you plenty of space without the upkeep of a larger home. I particularly love the character in the tongue-and-groove floorboards, with some areas beautifully stripped back to reveal their natural charm. I also love the bay window seat in the kitchen, you can see everything from there!

Outside, the fully fenced section is ideal for pets, children or simply enjoying your own private space. There’s a single garage plus off-street parking, and the river walk is right across the road. There’s even a lovely big paddock just two houses away, giving you that feeling of space and openness.

A beautifully cared-for, entry-level home with plenty to love — and a wonderful opportunity to make it your own. Come along and see for yourself. I’ll see you at the open home!
