Families would love the lifestyle that comes with this home.

It’s near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, opposite Breaksea Park for recreation and with trees and birdlife in abundance – and it has a terrific games room and a big garden.

Of brick and tile construction, it occupies a block of 808sqm, mostly in lawn with mature trees and an undercover patio, a sheltered paved courtyard, a garden shed and an enclosed carport as well as plenty more off-road parking.

Although some of the fittings are dated, the internal space is generous and the layout is practical, so a modernisation project could easily transform the place into a highly desirable, classy home to match its location.

Owners might want to renovate and add value while living in the home, or rent it out and complete the project later. It is certainly livable as it is, and is currently tenanted on a periodic lease.

Raked ceilings give the interior a spacious, airy ambience, and polished jarrah floorboards flow throughout the family area, kitchen and hallway – the entire space heated by a centrally positioned wood fire.

Adding interest to the architecture is the sunken lounge, reached down two steps from the family room. This adjoins the dining space and the kitchen, which has a walk-in pantry and a dishwasher.

Off the family room is the generous games room, surely a year-round favourite spot with all ages. One luxurious addition to this room is a sauna, built in traditional pinewood, with fitted benches and a ladder to mezzanine storage above.

The bedrooms at the front of the house are all good-sized doubles fitted with carpet, and two have built-in robes.

A laundry, separate toilet and bathroom with bath, shower and vanity complete the picture.
This property will appeal to buyers who like to pick up a bargain, carry out a project to suit their budget and available time, and reap the rewards with a desirable home to sell or for their own family to enjoy. It would equally serve as a cost-effective rental for an investment portfolio.

Its proximity to good schools and a major supermarket add to its appeal, and all the amenities of the city are just a few minutes’ drive away.
