Small homes are a sensible option for many couples and single people, for numerous reasons.

They are more affordable to buy, incur lower maintenance costs, and take less time to clean.
People living in smaller homes also find they accumulate less clutter and life can be simpler and more comfortable.

These are just a few of the reasons why you should check out this little beauty if you’re considering downsizing or buying a place of your own.

Yet it will be just as appealing to rental investors, as it’s a low-maintenance property and a perfect opportunity to start – or add to – a portfolio.

It’s a one-bedroom home less than 2km from town, a short walk from public transport, and within easy reach of medical facilities and shops.

Set back off the street, accessed via a sealed driveway, this is a well-presented unit.

It adjoins one other unit in a complex of only six on the block, all well spaced and with garden beds and trees creating a pleasant outlook as well as privacy from the road.

Built of brick with a Colorbond roof and a veranda along the front, it’s a cosy home with new carpets and blinds, and fresh decor throughout.

While it is compact, it has been thoughtfully planned to maximise the space there is without compromising on comfort.

The front door opens onto the lounge and dining area, and at the far end is the kitchen, with an electric stove, a breakfast bar, a pantry with built-in shelving and a sink under the window.
A door on the left leads through to the bathroom and laundry, incorporated into one sizeable space to give plenty of elbowroom. This includes a wide shower, vanity, laundry trough, space for the washing machine and a separate toilet.

The back door leads out to a paved courtyard, complete with garden shed.
Off the lounge at the front is the bedroom – a good-sized double with a built-in robe.
A common concern for couples or singles is security. This property has security screens on the front and back doors as well as on the laundry window, and occupants will find that being a part of a small community also promotes a feeling of safety.

Everything is clean and tidy, and the appealing home is ready for new owners or tenants to move in.

If you’re blown away by the price of this property, you’ll be truly convinced of its value on close inspection.
