Set on a prominent corner block in the sought-after Merlynston area, this well-maintained single-storey home showcases a character-filled retro aesthetic enhanced by vibrant garden borders. The spacious corner block of approximately 445 square metres offers a versatile canvas for future enhancement or renovation.

The design fosters a bright and airy atmosphere, notably in the family room which features windows on three sides, allowing natural light and ventilation to flow throughout the living spaces. Thoughtful additions such as reverse cycle heating and cooling systems further ensure comfort year-round.

The kitchen stands out for its pristine condition, equipped with a gas cooker, fold-down bench and a skylight that illuminates the space naturally. Built-in cabinetry, including a glass-fronted cabinet, provides both functionality and style for culinary enthusiasts.

Two cosy bedrooms with built-in robes share an updated bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, while practical amenities including a full laundry with storage and a convenient second toilet further enhance the home's livability.

Outside, the property benefits from an automatic access gate leading to a large, mostly enclosed carport offering secure parking and ample storage options. This space is perfect for residents valuing convenience and security in vehicle accommodation.
