It’s been quite a while since a home in this location for under $500,000 has become available. It has a full-sun northern exposure with a stunning water view, three double bedrooms with built-in robes, and a bathroom on both levels. The large living room opens onto a sundeck, where you get the feeling you can reach out and touch the water.

There’s a cosy wood heater as well as two heat pumps – the best of both worlds – although for much of the time the sunshine keeps the entire house warm.

The large fully-fenced backyard is child and pet friendly and has a great entertainment patio.

The property is private and extremely quiet. Nearby are lovely walking tracks, schools, bus stop and shops. It is currently tenanted with a great family who would love to stay on if you’re purchasing for investment.
