PRICES are inching upwards and who knows how long government housing incentives will last!

This well presented, good value abode is an excellent opportunity for the first home purchaser and also the investor.

The neat two-bedroom brick and tile home on its own title is hillside in an increasingly popular residential area just 15 minutes drive from the city centre.

The home has easy-care, essentially level grounds slightly elevated from the street with lovely views away westward to Mt Wellington.

Accommodation includes a carpeted lounge/dining room with a Daikin air conditioner, an adjoining Tas oak kitchen with a breakfast bar, a Chef stove with Robinhood range-hood, a single drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and a step-in pantry.

Next is a laundry with a built-in cupboard and door to a rear porch and the securely fenced back yard with a steel garden shed and a paved barbecue area.

Off a carpeted central hallway with a built-in linen cupboard are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, an upgraded bathroom and a separate toilet.

The property also has a cement driveway up to a side carport.

The property is currently rented to a caring tenant but it could be bought with vacant possession if preferred.

Oakdowns is a quality new homes area and it is within easy reach of local shops, services and schools while swimming and surfing beaches are not much further away.
