Why buy old weatherboard when you can buy this jewel?

Located in the dress circle, and surrounded by old character houses fit for Statesmen, this architecturally designed roughcast home facing north-west with multiples of double-glazed windows is the epitome of charm with the benefits of modern practicality. With true departure from tradition, you don't need to fuss here, it's all easy living for busy professionals, families, singles and a lock up and leave for those adventurous retirees. Yes, plenty of room to park the mobile home or build a pool on the northern lawn. Or if you want, you might like to re-fashion the existing integral garage into the house and put on a king-sized garage to house those classic toys. Plenty of options here! Remember its location, location. You can't go wrong with land values this high.

Flowing from the entrance way into an open plan lounge with high stud is the partitioned dining and a kitchen that bears similarity to the precision of a galley like kitchen. Loads of bench space and efficiency in mind blended with natural timber, you can prepare a meal whilst looking out to established gardens.

With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a separate toilet, the family or guests have plenty of room to sprawl.

Facing out to a courtyard, the main bedroom is spacious and warmed by its own heat pump. With an ensuite and walk in wardrobe with dressing room, this home has all the modern benefits that the character homes can't help but be envious of.

Low maintenance and private easy-care grounds with a choice of North or West alfresco dining.

Come and be charmed by 'modern' surrounded by tradition, you can't go wrong buying this jewel.
