For buyers demanding value for money, this well-presented property would be hard to beat.It consists of a neat 1940s cottage on a 1027sqm block - or a quarter-acre as it was known when it was first developed - in a great location for families a few minutes from shops, schools, TAFE and town.The home still displays original timber floors, timber window frames and ceiling features as well as a delightful leadlight window in the lounge. It has been given a makeover in recent years and presents as a comfortable, welcoming place with good spaces for living and entertaining friends.It has great kerb appeal with its fresh paintwork in white and dark blue and a tile roof.At the main entrance is a sunroom - an addition to the original building - with big windows for watching the world go by.This leads through to the lounge, with a wood fire to heat the entire living area, and the generous dining room.These three rooms, complemented by a sizeable undercover patio at the back door, allow flexibility of use and good options for families to find their own space.Painted in white, the kitchen has gas cooking and space for a dishwasher, and a window overlooking the back yard.Three double bedrooms, the laundry and the bathroom with shower and vanity are reached via a hallway off the dining area.For owners appreciating a block of this size, the outside will be just as appealing.Most of the back yard is in grass with a variety of fruit trees, and there's a fenced area at the rear boundary with veggie gardens, a terrific chook house and heaps of space for the girls to scratch around before laying their free-range eggs.Accommodation for other animals is pretty impressive, too. There are two good-sized cages to keep dogs and cats safe, and a cat run with two trees for climbing.Three rainwater tanks provide water for the gardens.There's plenty of off-road parking and space for turning. A long driveway leads to an enclosed carport, and behind that is a lock-up shed with power. This is a highly appealing property with a long list of benefits.
