Step inside this much-loved home - it's easy to imagine weekend mornings with sunlight spilling across polished timber floors and the smell of coffee drifting from the upgraded kitchen.

The open-plan living area is the real heart of the home - warm, light and the perfect place for everyone to gather. Open the French Doors and let the day flow out onto the verandah - friends chatting over a drink while the kids play safely in the backyard, the dog trotting happily between them. It's relaxed, easy outdoor living at its best.

Inside, the home is well presented and wonderfully comfortable, with a heat pump, insulation top and bottom, and all-day sun keeping things cosy. The classic weatherboard construction and beautifully upgraded kitchen bring together the charm of the 60s with the convenience of today.

Set back from the road, the property offers privacy, plenty of parking, and the bonus of separate double garaging - perfect for hobbies, storage, or that home gym you've been planning. The section is elevated too, giving you a lovely outlook and a sense of space.

And the location? Just 1.9 km from the CBD, so everything you need is close, yet home still feels like your own peaceful pocket of suburbia.

Whether you're starting out or looking for a solid, tidy investment on the city fringe, this family-friendly classic is ready to welcome its next chapter.
