DAD, mum or the kids? Quickest off the mark will claim for their own the large detached and lined chalet in the private back yard of this level and sunny property in a sought after residential area close to the beach.

Adding to its appeal is a glimpse of nearby Frederick Henry Bay from the upper level of the comfortable family home on a level block with established gardens.

Just along the street is safe and popular Roches Beach and around the corner is Lauderdale’s iconic canal while cafes, shops and services are within easy walking distance.

The substantial home is in good condition and the floor plan quite versatile.

From the front porch there’s a leadlight entry to the foyer and central hallway before an L-shaped lounge/dining room with a woodheater and adjoining Tas oak kitchen with good storage and benchspace.

A sliding door from the living area provides access to a step-down rumpus room. The rumpus once was an attached garage and the working roller door can be accessed by the easy removal of timber shelving. At its far end, another sliding door opens to a covered and paved barbecue area and fernery.

Beyond the kitchen is a family area with a pine staircase to the upper level, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a toilet, a bathroom with a tub, separate shower bay, a vanity unit, a ceiling exhaust fan and electric heater and a laundry with a door to a covered rear porch and the secure yard with its two steel garden sheds and the large studio or workshop or playroom.

On the top level is a parents’ retreat with good sized sitting room and spacious bedroom with mirror fronted built-ins and an en suite bathroom.
