Light-filled and low-maintenance, this two-bedroom Hillcrest home proves that good design beats square meters every time. Each corner has been considered, with a flowing layout that never feels like it’s asking you to compromise.

The heart of the home is a smart open-plan living space where kitchen, dining and lounge come together as one. A dedicated kitchen with practical vinyl flooring flows seamlessly into the carpeted living and dining area, so you can cook, chat and keep half an eye on the TV all at once. A heat pump takes care of comfort through the seasons, and a vaulted ceiling with large windows gives the room a real sense of volume, so it lives far bigger than its size suggests. Slide the door open to the deck and garden for a Sunday barbecue or a quiet coffee before the day gets going.

The main bedroom is a peaceful retreat at the rear with its own private door to the driveway and garage, handy for coming and going without disturbing the rest of the house. The second bedroom suits a child, a home office, or visiting family.

The vendors have recently given the home a fresh lift, with the exterior repainted and plenty of small improvements made throughout the grounds. A deck, paved courtyard, covered pergola, garden beds, lawn and established trees give you room to unwind, with just enough land for a small dog, a few vegetables or a cuppa in the sun, without the upkeep of a bigger section. A garage and extensive carport add plenty of storage.

Right next to Berkley Normal School and zoned for the well-regarded Hillcrest schooling option, with Hillcrest Park, cafés and shops close by, it’s a simple, easy address.

Whether it’s a first home, a simpler chapter after selling the family home, or a fresh start, this one is ready when you are. Contact Daniel Jury on 021 906 608 to arrange your viewing.
