From the entry-deck with its lush, living-bamboo wall (yes, a few boards need replacing), you'll be amazed at the size of the open-plan living and room proportions that welcome you, looking out to the vast North-facing garden beyond. A sea of green and colourful flowers breathe life into this property and a feeling of country-comfort and charm washes over you, as you can't help but imagine living here.

The large bright kitchen has an electric cooktop/oven, dishwasher, top and bottom cupboards, a 3-door pantry and generous stone-look laminate benchtops connecting it to the adjacent dining area. An original slump-glass window assures privacy and reminds you that this is an older home.

The massive lounge-room is screaming for an entertainment deck with bi-fold doors to enjoy the outdoor living you'd expect this close to the coast. However, the existing full-length casement windows allow for good air-flow and all-day sunshine.

All three light-filled bedrooms and the living space are oversized and have screens and floating curtains to all windows (and there's plenty); ceiling fans; and simple oyster light-fittings, making the home inviting and fresh, ready for a new life.

The bathroom with shower and toilet also has laundry facilities (or room for a bath, if you relocate laundry outside).

Take the back stairs to the verdant lawn and check-out the raised garden beds; prolific birdlife; fruit-laden trees; and abundant plants. There's a water-tank with fitted tap for hosing the gardens and a compost bay, ready for a good turn.

This 658m2 corner-block slopes gently to the North with vacant land either side, creating a sense of openness. Fully-fenced, a secret gate leads to a carport with cement slab (accessed via Highland Ridge Road), a garden shed and more garden beds spilling-over with food.

Hard to resist, this excellent home awaits your decorator touch and the reassurance of a new beginning.
