Interest rates are at record lows so now’s the chance to pounce. Get out of that rental or squishy family home and move to modern and spacious family living in a new estate. Oakdowns Parade is littered with new homes and families who have realised the dream and made the smart move.

This relative newbie built in 2011 is modern, sleek and stylish with all the trimmings you love about family living. Literally a snippet off the South Arm Highway, find yourself only 15 minutes from Hobart care of double lane highway for the majority of your trip.

The home presents well with its rendered exterior, landscaped front garden and plenty of off-street parking. Inside, continue to be impressed. Carpet throughout a large sunlit lounge at the front of house is warm and welcoming as it rounds a large petition to spill onto floorboards in the savvy kitchen and dining. There is plenty of space and light as you patter through the long kitchen with breakfast bar more than equipped to feed any horde of youths.

The space branching from the kitchen is enviable with plenty of room for an extended dining table and play. Off to the side sits an enclave with built-in laundry housing washing machine, dryer, fridge and sink. Two sets of sliding doors sit at opposite ends of the kitchen/dining zone, one to an enormous enclosed secure deck perfect for entertaining in any weather whilst the other leads down a set of stairs to a level backyard.

Two rear double bedrooms also branch off the open plan to provide convenience and easy access for the kidlets. Both face the backyard, with good light and built-ins. The main bathroom sits off to the side in between the lounge and kitchen centrally accessible to all. Separate toilet supports the usual bath, shower and vanity next door.

The master sits front of house, street facing, with fabulous light care of a set of three panelled windows supported by ensuite (corner shower, vanity and toilet) alongside a walk-in-robe to please the missus.

A single lock-up garage sits under the main roof, currently used as a home office to offer increased flexibility in a fine example of comfortable modern family living.
