Lower King WA 6330

You might think that there would be lots wrong with a 4 (or if you prefer a 5) bedroom home with a double garage and spacious yard at only $360,000? Not at all...This very cute, cottagey home is undoubtedly one of the best choices in its price class, whether you're seeking a home for yourself or as an investor.To view all 51 photos, please copy/paste or type in this link to my website: https://www.jessadamsrealty.com.au/properties/13-shepherd-street-lower-king-2/A neat, low-maintenance front yard and large wooden deck welcome you to the front door. Enter into the lounge and you'll immediately be impressed by the high-raked ceilings which add a lot of character and light to the home. From here you can see the dining room, stairs going up to the next level and the two corridors left and right leading to the bedrooms, laundry and the lovely, modern bathroom. To the right of the lounge are 2 spacious bedrooms. The one facing the front yard is approximately 3 x 4 m2 - currently used as a storage room - while the second is roughly 3 x 4.5 m2 with pleasant views over the back yard.A glass slider opens out from the dining area to a wooden deck overlooking the backyard. The kitchen is next to the dining area, partly hidden behind the staircase. It's not huge, but there's a double sink; a free-standing oven and hob, space for a fridge and reasonable bench/cupboard space.Down the corridor (left of entry) you will find the laundry on your right (backing onto the kitchen) with its own door leading out onto the back deck. At the end of the corridor is a new, separate water closet and a lovely new bathroom - complete with a shower, fancy bath and basin. Two more spacious bedrooms, roughly 3.5 x 3.5 m2 each are down this corridor - facing the front yard and afternoon sun.Upstairs is delightful. The current owners use it as the 5th bedroom (master bedroom) and their private retreat, but it could easily be a second lounge or whatever your family needs may be.It consists of a big room (current bedroom) and a large space for an office or private lounge behind it. Extra storage space, always handy, was cleverly incorporated into the roof space. On the other side of the stairway/opposite the bedroom, is another room, roughly the size of a small single room - currently used as a large walk-in robe. The loft room has its own private deck looking out over the backyard and over the neighbour's rooftops towards Oyster Harbour and enjoys rather lovely water views in the distance. It's the best place to sit and watch the sunrise with a coffee in hand as well as the ideal quiet retreat to unwind with a beer or a glass of wine after a hard day's work. A wide gravelled driveway down the side of the house leads into a gated backyard - ideal for kids and pets. With an 835 m2 yard, there's plenty of space to park a boat, caravan and a few cars securely. The double garage (single sliding door) has a good workshop space attached as an added bonus. Most Lower King inhabitants enjoy boating and fishing or want to be in a quiet area close to the water. The Lower King Bridge is just 2.5 km up the road, while the Lower King boat ramp is only 1.8 km/ 4 minutes' drive away. This home would be very suitable for first home buyers, tradies, families and investors. The size and layout of the home allow for easy alterations to suit your family's needs. The large back and small upstairs wooden decks are currently being repaired/replaced, we're waiting for a long enough break in the weather so the workmen can start. Both decks will have brand new boards soon.We'd like to welcome private inspections from qualified buyers (pre-approved finance or cash) before letting other buyers through.
