In a cul-de-sac on the edge of town near the state college, hospital and CBD, this solid, partially Colourbond-clad, highset house is close to town yet tucked away – visitors often comment on how quiet it is.

What sold me on this house was the breeze and light, and the spacious back yard. Sliding windows and louvres maximise the east and south-easterly breezes, with the aircons rarely needed. Medium-sized mature trees provide privacy and shade for the eastern side of the house while still letting in the light and air.

Upstairs has three bedrooms, a good sized bathroom, separate toilet, roomy kitchen and living area, and enclosed (louvred) veranda.

Downstairs is completely lockable, with a large laundry, store room, room for two vehicles, and more undercover areas.

The yard is partially enclosed, with several fruit trees and ample space for more gardens, or left as lawn for the kids and pets.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with this house, but change is calling!
