Welcome to 5 Eccles Avenue-a beautifully refreshed 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home that perfectly balances low-maintenance modern living with the freedom of a generous backyard. Renovated just two years ago and meticulously maintained since, this solid property offers the ultimate "just unpack and enjoy" lifestyle, free from the stress and high costs of weekend DIY projects.
Offered with vacant possession and ready for immediate occupancy, this property presents a fantastic opportunity for both owner-occupiers and investors. With a proven rental history of $550 per week, investors can look forward to strong returns in a high-demand market, while first-time buyers and downsizers can enjoy the flexibility of moving straight in without waiting for a lease to expire.
Extensively Upgraded For Ultimate Peace of Mind
No hidden costs, no nasty surprises. Extensively upgraded in 2021, the home was fully rewired and replumbed, alongside major capital improvements that guarantee long-term value:
Brand new insulation and full double glazing throughout
- Efficient gas hot water system
- Modern heat pump installed for year-round climate control
- Proactive Site Protection: The old back retaining wall and overgrown vegetation have been recently demolished and cleared. This proactive upgrade has permanently mitigated the risk of invasive roots near the structure, ensuring the home's perimeter is completely secure, low-maintenance, and structurally protected for the future.
Smart Design Meets Generous Land
Step inside to find a beautifully styled, compact 68sqm floor plan designed for maximum efficiency and comfort. The crisp, contemporary interiors flow effortlessly, making it easy to keep cozy in winter and cool in summer.
While the home itself is wonderfully easy to care for, it sits proudly on a fantastic 480sqm freehold section. With the front section now cleared and refreshed, you are presented with a clean, open canvas. The expansive yard offers an abundance of secure space for children to play and pets to roam, alongside massive future potential to add a large wrap-around deck, a double garage, or a brand-new designer garden tailored exactly to your taste.
