Set across a tidy 70m² floor plan, this two-bedroom home is tucked up a private drive shared with just two other two bedroom properties both owner occupied creating a quiet, stable setting that feels private and manageable.

It will appeal to first home buyers, couples, solo buyers, investors or empty nesters looking for something low maintenance and secure.The living and dining zone is generous for the footprint, with a wood burner grounding the room and windows plus a slider drawing in natural light. At one end, the kitchen is compact and practical, with open shelving, good cabinetry and a window over the sink so you get a decent view even while doing the dishes.

The long covered porch extends the living area nicely, giving you that ever desirable indoor-outdoor flow.Both bedrooms feel bright and restful.

The main bedroom is the larger of the two and sits nicely apart, while the second works just as well for guests, a flatmate or a work-from-home setup.

The bathroom is clean and simple with a shower over the bath, while the separate laundry is a real bonus at this size. Hall cupboards help keep linen and daily overflow nicely tucked away.

Outside, the fenced deck and patio area is made for weekend barbecues or evening drinks, along with enough lawn to soften the setting without signing you up for endless upkeep.

The carport is covered and conveniently placed, while the side paths and gate to the backyard add a welcome sense of privacy.
