This three-bedroom house would suit a family with school-aged children. Neat as a pin, it is ready to live in.

With a park across the road, only one minute’s walk from Wonga Beach school in a quiet street, parents can feel happy with sending the kids out to play. Security screens and a fenced back yard provide an extra level of reassurance.

The gardens, including rose bushes, have been carefully tended by the tenant of nine years, and the garden shed is the perfect size for all your tools and fishing gear.

The open-plan dining adjoins the kitchen and there are two living areas, one indoors and one outside. Many of the fittings have been upgraded, and there is a separate laundry.

The three bedrooms all have built-ins, while the master has A/C and en suite. Currently tenanted, vacant possession can be arranged.

At only $255,000, this is the perfect opportunity to get off the rental treadmill and buy a house in a family-friendly suburb. At this price, the property will probably be snapped up quickly.
