In 2018, your family could be living the dream in a beautiful, good-as-new home.

This brick and Colorbond residence occupies a low-maintenance 480sqm block in a popular suburb within easy reach of excellent schools, shops and recreation areas, and just 12 minutes from Albany.

Constructed of oversized cream bricks and a Colorbond roof, the smart home incorporates modern colours of grey and taupe inside and out, with paintwork, tiling and cabinetry all complementing the chosen palette.

The main living area is an open plan family room with the kitchen on one side and a separate study nook or office adjoining.

In the family room, big windows on one wall make this a sunny, welcoming space, and glass doors at the back let in the breeze while allowing access to a good-sized paved, undercover patio in the back yard.

The well-appointed, galley-style kitchen has plenty of cabinetry and an extra-wide 900mm under bench oven, as well as a five-burner gas cooktop.

At the front of the home is the generous master bedroom, complete with ensuite bathroom with vanity, shower and toilet, and a walk-in robe big enough to serve as a dressing room.

Located towards the back of the house are the other three bedrooms, all double sized and with built-in robes.

The family bathroom nearby is complete with bath, shower and vanity, and the separate toilet is off the laundry at the side of the home.

All the bedrooms are carpeted, and the main living space is fitted with hardwearing and attractive timber-look vinyl plank flooring – a practical choice for high-traffic areas.

The double garage has a remote-controlled door, space for storage and direct access to the home.

Venetian blinds at all windows, clean, neutral decor and a family-friendly layout are other advantages of this highly appealing home.

Fully fenced to contain small children or pets, the back yard is private and sheltered, though the family may choose to spend leisure time at nearby parkland or fishing in Oyster Harbour.

This modern home is among similar properties in an area that is fast becoming a favourite with families recognising the benefits of living in a well-planned suburb and facilities within easy reach.

It will also be as popular with tenants as with owner-occupiers, so if you are in the market for a new home, or a rental to add to your portfolio, you cannot go past this beauty.
