This charming home offers over 110 square meters of living space and was originally designed with three bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has been cleverly opened up to create a rumpus room, providing flexible living options. Currently configured as a two-bedroom residence, the third bedroom can be easily reinstated by installing a stud wall.

Filled with natural light, the home features bright, open-plan living areas that flow seamlessly onto outdoor entertaining spaces. The property is well-sheltered from the street by neat hedging and a decorative screen, enhancing privacy. A large front deck provides an inviting space to relax, while a paved sitting area in the private rear garden offers a sunny spot for outdoor enjoyment.

The residence is situated in a connected and convenient location, within walking distance to The Knox cafe and shops, Majura and Rosary Primary Schools, the new Windeyer Street playground, Dickson College, The Australian Catholic University, and a light rail stop, making it ideal for families and professionals alike.

Inside, brand new carpet and fresh white decor create a welcoming atmosphere in the entry and light-filled lounge. The lounge maximizes the north-east aspect with two sets of elegant French doors opening onto the front deck, offering views to Mt. Majura. The original brick fireplace houses a cosy slow combustion stove, radiating warmth throughout the spacious open-plan living area, especially during cooler months.

The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove and double sink, overlooking the rear garden. French doors from the dining area open to a peaceful, paved entertaining area covered by a new pergola, perfect for hosting gatherings. The flow-through layout from living areas to outdoor spaces enhances the entertaining experience.

The new carpet extends through all bedrooms, including the third space currently used as a rumpus room, which can be easily converted back to a bedroom. The spacious master bedroom features a built-in storage nook, and the second bedroom is comfortable in size. The bathroom includes a bath with a shower and a separate toilet.

The rear garden is safely enclosed and features a grassy play area, a fenced section with a shade tree, and roses along one side. Additional features include a garage and carport with a storage area, and a fruitful grape vine growing at the side of the house.

Freshly presented and full of light, this home offers strong appeal and scope for further updating to suit personal tastes and needs.

Additional details include a unimproved value of $754,000 and approximate rates of $4,464.00.
