Some homes make you work for them. This one's already done the hard part.

Tucked down a quiet driveway in Merrilands, this three bedroom home has spent years quietly getting better. The bathroom's been done. It's tiled, heated underfloor and finished with the kind of fittings you'd actually choose yourself. Double glazing runs through most of the house. There's a gas fire for the cold nights and full insulation doing its job year round.

What's left is the fun part. A little cosmetic love here and there, an updated kitchen, and you're building equity from day one, not just paying for it.

The conservatory is made for slow Sunday mornings, coffee in hand, watching the trees do their thing. The patio's got the same energy in the evenings. And when you do venture out, Merrilands shops, well regarded schools and a couple of good locals are all an easy stroll away. Zoned for Highlands School, close to town, and private enough to forget the neighbours exist.

This is the kind of property first home buyers write lists about. Solid bones, room to make it yours, and a location that only gets more in demand. For investors, it's a straightforward one: good bones, good area, good tenant appeal.

Early settlement is available, so there's nothing standing between you and getting started.
