Move in and live comfortably while you plan the updates that will transform this three-bedroom cottage bungalow on 675m2 into a truly special family home.

Find it quietly located in a pretty jacaranda-lined street, surrounded by renovated character homes full of friendly families. Parks, schools, Mitcham Village and Westfield Marion are all just minutes away, making this a fantastic lifestyle location.

The central hallway and north-facing open-plan living spaces at the rear have already been upgraded with floating timber floors. A skylight brings in extra sunshine to a simple white kitchen featuring solid timber bench tops and there is a slow combustion stove to keep you toasty warm in winter.

Split system reverse cycle air conditioning units have been installed here, in the formal lounge and one of the double bedrooms at the front, while a gas fire warms the one across the hallway, both featuring character fire surrounds. A third slightly smaller bedroom would make a brilliant study or child’s bedroom.

A laundry and functional bathroom are off the family room where sliding doors lead out to covered terrace entertaining and backyard privacy, with plenty of space for future additions and a sparkling in-ground pool, if this is part of your dream. Or, you can stay with the existing veggie patch, fruit trees and extensive rainwater tanks and build on the self-sufficiency theme.

Complete with ceiling fans, a large iron shed, auto tandem carport and additional hard standing for at least three more cars; this appealing home offers an affordable entree into an increasingly popular area, with potential to add value further down the track. Please be sure to register your interest with the agent as the price guide is $495,000.
