Active families valuing privacy, tranquility and space for recreation will find so much to love at this solid home on a beautiful 4075sqm block.
When the land was developed in the late 1970s, it was one of a few select one-acre lots favoured for the coveted open-air lifestyle, with the happy bonus of being close to the King River and the shore of Oyster Harbour for fishing, sailing and swimming.
The property still has all these healthy attractions, plus easy access to good schools and shops – and it’s less than 15 minutes’ drive from the centre of town.
Set back from the road, the rendered double brick home is in good shape, though it would benefit from an upgrade to the kitchen and bathroom. This could be done over time, and owners prepared to roll up their sleeves could achieve amazing things without breaking the bank.
The focus is a comfortable lounge, a carpeted room open to the adjacent kitchen and dining area, where there’s ample space for family dining and the kitchen has a walk-in pantry and gas cooking.
Sure to be one of the most popular spots for summer relaxation and barbecues is the patio at the back door, overlooking the expanse of land.
There’s some flexibility to the layout. Two of the bedrooms are doubles and the master is a king-sized room, yet its position and size make it an ideal games room. There’s also a study which lends itself to use as a single bedroom.
The bathroom has a walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, and semi-en suite access from one of the double bedrooms as well as from the hall.
A drive at the side of the house leads to a freestanding double garage and there’s space for parking big vehicles or even building another shed.
The block is mostly level and in grass with some areas of mature natives and fruit trees alongside garden beds of water-wise native shrubs, succulents and creepers, all attracting a diversity of birdlife.
A session on the ride-on mower will make short work of keeping the grounds looking spick and span while providing lots of play space – it’s a wonderland for kids.
Almost opposite a general store with fuel and liquor, the property is a few kilometres from Great Southern Grammar and a short walk to the King River bridge and idyllic fishing spots and walk trails.
It presents the opportunity to enhance its value with a makeover, rewarding the occupants with an enviable lifestyle in a desirable location. Currently tenanted until 23rd January 2025.
