For decades, our television screens were frequented by a handkerchief hatted fellow enthusiastically expressing the catch phrase of his particular discount outlet: “We’re not fancy, but we’re cheap!” Well, in his retirement Luigi could easily find a place spruiking out the front of this little gem, which is so cheap, it’ll have a whole bevy of buyers swarming to its door desperately waving offer and acceptance forms.

It too, is not fancy- but I challenge you to find a home that is priced so low, but still has a list of features that an entry level buyer can take pride in.

Its humble fibro exterior is neat enough, prefixed by a large expanse of established lawn and featuring a small deck veranda entry, concrete drive and solid, tiled roof.

Stepping inside, and expectations of a renovators horror story are quickly quashed, as you take in the fresh, crisply painted entrance hallway with character floorboards and high ceilings.

Veering slightly to the left you can kick back into a hearty formal lounge room- enhanced by the mantle of the now covered fireplace, and the intricacy of ornate cornices.

A centrally located wall mounted gas heater is well placed to radiate warmth to both the lounge and the dining space which continues on around the corner from the lounge, linking in with the homes kitchen.

Here, you find another “HANG ON A MINUTE” moment, when you discover that the kitchen is a near new, modern and easy on the eye design with wood look cabinetry, overhead storage, contemporary double sink with stainless steel mixer tap, upright oven and stove, generous triple pantry and glossy white tile splashbacks.

A big beefy window sits just above the fink area, shielded by an easy venetian, to give the entire area a light and bright feel.

The homes two bedrooms are also character plus, continuing the floorboards and high ceilinged charm of the introductory areas and with robes in the master room.

Neutral colour schemes allow you to accessorise with your chosen colour palate when you furnish the home, while the size of the rooms is a generous size to accommodate statement furniture.

The homes bathroom has also seen a recent refurbishment, with its sleek curved white vanity and mirrored storage cabinet a great ageless choice beside the white combined bath and shower.

The laundry area is also a thoroughfare, providing outside access to the rear yard.

Here, the complete security of extra height cream colour bond fencing provides a private and secure place to enjoy and potentially develop to your heart’s content.

The drive through access gate is positioned directly in front of a near new gabled carport that can double as a sheltered entertaining or play area.

The rest is up to you, with the 826 square metre block providing plenty of options for addition or expansion as your piggy bank grows.

Complete, character filled and a delightful cheapie without you having to do the hard yards.

Sounds fancy enough to me!
