Overview

Located in a serene and established pocket of Lara, this updated three-bedroom house sits on an expansive 664 square metre allotment, providing ample space for outdoor activities and future enhancements. The property's refreshing renovation throughout creates a welcoming atmosphere enhanced by timber flooring and neutral tones that contribute to a warm, light-filled living environment.

The open-plan living area offers a seamless connection to a well-equipped kitchen featuring timber benchtops, white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, alongside a practical breakfast bar. The abundance of natural light streaming through large windows seamlessly integrates indoor living with the tranquil backyard views.

Two of the three bedrooms include built-in robes, complementing the recently updated central bathroom that boasts a separate shower and bathtub, along with a separate toilet and laundry for added convenience. This layout is designed to support everyday living with ease and functionality.

Outdoor living is well catered for with a generous backyard ideal for families with children and pets, featuring established lawns and two garden sheds providing additional storage options. A single garage with drive-through access and extra off-street parking complete the practicalities of this home.

This location is ideal for those who value peace and proximity to nature, with walking tracks, Hovells Creek, and Flinders Reserve nearby. At the same time, practical urban conveniences like Lara Shops, the train station, schools, sporting facilities, and the Lara Aquatic Centre are within easy reach. Quick access to the Princes Freeway enhances commuting options to Geelong or Melbourne.

This property presents a compelling choice for first-home buyers, families, downsizers, or investors seeking a well-presented home with a combination of comfort, space, and a desirable location.
