This brand-spanking new house that’s never been lived in will bring a $21 000 grant to qualified first home buyers. And the notional amount of $254 000 is a very small price to pay for a new house. Use the First Home Owners’ Grant to personalise the finishing touches.

Construction of the home was completed in June. It’s made of Hardiplank and Zincalume, has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 2 toilets. The floor area is generous. All bedrooms are large and have robe recesses. The open plan lounge/meals/kitchen area won’t cramp your style either.

Attractive cupboards, deep pantry, gas hot plates and an electric oven feature in the kitchen. Some rooms already have quality light fittings installed. Teenagers taking those long hot showers will battle to drain the water from the 250L electric hot water.

A full length side verandah shelters the path to the ‘front’ door and from the rear carport. The land is a good old fashioned quarter acre set in a very quiet neighbourhood on the fringe of town where the only people the drive down the street live in the street. It’s only a few hundred metres to the banks of the Avon River where, in its natural undeveloped state, is a great place to take the dog for a walk. Views of Mount Ommanney complete the tranquil scene.
