Gardening is not every tenants cup-of-tea especially considering our hot climate and the cost of water, soil wetter, fertiliser, mulch, pesticides, replacing lost plants and lawn. Few tenants budgets will stretch that far. And people are so time-poor these days. Few tenants want to spend their precious Saturdays and Sundays slaving over their Landlords gigantic quarter acre block watering, fertilising, mowing, weeding, pruning. Unless the investor is re-developing, a big block is the last thing wanted.
4B Mervyn Street is on a 351sqm block nicely fenced and paved, easily maintained.
This property comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, gas hot water heating and stove hot plates, electric oven, ceiling fans, split system rev cyc air conditioner, auto reticulation, security grills, double lockup garage.
The tenancy is a short fixed term expiring 28 August so if youre an owner-occupier rather than investor, vacant possession could be timed to align with the settlement.
