This property offers many options for a purchaser willing to spend a little and add a lot of value to their investment, and it is just as good for those who don’t want to spend a cent more.

It’s a neat-as-a-pin three-bedroom home with a separate games room on a corner block of 1070sqm, which offers possibilities for subdivision.

Built of weatherboard with a tile roof, it features high ceilings, and under the floor coverings are the original timber floorboards.

New carpets, curtains and decor have freshened up the place, and as the project was completed only two years ago – and there has only been one tenant since – everything is still in excellent condition.

Part of its appeal is the flexible layout. The front door opens onto a sitting room, play room or office – or a space for any other purpose the owners want.

A single bedroom is off to the left, and another doorway leads through to the lounge, where a tile fire warms most of the house and makes for cosy winters.

The kitchen is a good-sized, light room with a new gas cooker, space for a dining table and a window looking onto the street.

The generous main bedroom is off the lounge, and a third bedroom is at the rear, near the sparkling new bathroom, a good-sized, modern room, with a bath/shower, toilet and vanity.
A major attraction of this property is the big garden, which has recently been landscaped and features water-wise native plants. The house is set towards the front, amid lawns and garden beds. The back yard, fully enclosed to contain children and pets, has some lovely established trees, including fruit trees bearing apples, peaches and feijoas, a garden shed, a rainwater tank for garden water, and an impressive games room.

A freestanding building comprising a spacious, carpeted main room and a good-sized storage room with shelving, this games room will be a favourite haunt of young children, teenagers and parents alike.

There’s also a rear patio – a great shady spot for relaxing over a beer and umpiring backyard cricket.

New stumps, a professional paint job inside and out, new window coverings and blinds, a gas bayonet fitting for a heater in the lounge and a new TV antenna are other benefits of the renovation.

Rental investors could expect a good annual return, with the potential rent between $290 – $330 per week based on the current market. The home’s location within easy reach of schools, TAFE, shops and the town centre would be as attractive to tenants as it would to an owner-occupier with a family.

In fact, for the littlies, there’s an excellent primary school right across the road, so the school run could be a thing of the past, and there’s parkland around the corner.

Subdivision of the block would be subject to the usual process and approvals, but the rewards could be manifold. One part of the subdivided block could be sold, either with or without the house; the owner could build a second home to live in and sell the established home, or capitalise on the investment by selling both in due course.

With so much to offer, this newly listed property is sure to attract attention from families wanting a budget buy with lifestyle benefits, and forward-looking investors seeking a property with great prospects.
