It may not be the smartest home on the block but it has good design and useable family areas. Smarten it up and reap the rewards.

Melanie Primmer of LJ Hooker sees it as value buying under $500,000 in a central part of Peregian Springs, close to the commercial precinct, restaurant and soon to be completed child care centre.

A Brad McLachlan home, it has three separate living areas, formal lounge, combined kitchen and dining area and a media/music room.

There are three good sized bedrooms and a study. A large kitchen with views of the backyard and loads of benchspace is perfect for the busy family.

Sitting on 700m and elevated, this home comes complete with a double garage with storage room, two bathrooms plus powder room.

It features a portico entry with a good sized, carpeted lounge to the right and study opposite.

The main bedroom has access to the back yard. It would benefit from a small deck or patio area. The ensuite has a spa bath, twin vanities and separate toilet.

The two guest bedrooms are near the bathroom with separate vanity and the laundry.

Opening out to a large alfresco dining area is the kitchen with breakfast bar and Blanco stainless steel oven. The casual dining area opens to the media room.

The alfresco area could be tiled or again, a timber deck put in.

This would be an ideal rental or perfect to update or renovate.
