The elevated greenery-cloaked weatherboard bungalow has an appealing central entrance way introducing the 117 sqm (approx.) floor plan. Features signifying the home's bygone era include attractive polished native timber flooring, high stud panelled ceilings and open fireplaces. A separate formal lounge is the archetypal "front room" while the neighbouring dining room has been merged with the hallway to create a greater sense of space and utility, both with statement fireplaces. A vibrant cornflower blue galley kitchen offers a practical workspace comprising of gas hob, underbench oven, dishwasher and rangehood. Three double bedrooms are cosily carpeted and share a single bathroom with claw foot tub while the toilet and a laundry are separate. A super sunny enclosed sunporch by the front door offers options for office or hobbies, while a large partly covered patio in the back yard is the ideal spot for barbecue parties.

There's ample off-street parking on an expansive forecourt where the kids can shoot hoops while the fenced and hedged section has flat back lawns crying out for a cricket game or soccer match. Handy to train and bus transport, Sylvia Park and big box outlets, and main arterial routes and motorways for a city commute are also easily accessed. The home has broad appeal to families looking to add value as well as landlord investors.
