Polished timber floor boards, roller shutters and ducted evaporative air conditioning are some of the smorgasbord of upgraded features awaiting your inspection in this basic family home.

Two of the three bedrooms have built-in robes. Roller shutters protect the front two rooms, while security screens cover most windows. Beat the winter cold with an AustWood combustion heater and gas bayonet point in the lounge room. The kitchen has been modernised with double sink, gas hotplates and electric wall oven. When the warm weather returns, cool off with the Breezair ducted evaporative air conditioning.

Head out the back door into the enclosed patio area which looks out over a large grassed back yard.

Rectangular in shape, this block is elevated and centrally placed within Lockridge. Situated on the boundary with Kiara, you are located close to schools, shops and work. Public bus transport is available on Altone Road with a bus stop only three houses up the road. For recreation it is a short walk to the ovals and lake of Rosher Park, or take a two-minute drive to Altone Park Recreation Centre.
