Find a tenant and reap those rental rewards straight away, or put plans in place to demolish the existing dwelling and build brand-new - whether it be three homes for investment or development purposes, or the massive family haven of your dreams. If the latter is what you desire, then there is definitely more than enough space on the lot for that free-flowing floor plan you have always wanted, featuring a study, theatre room, a playroom for the kids and an outdoor kitchen under the alfresco.

The carpeted study off the lounge room has its own separate verandah access, with a separate office - or playroom - off the dining area open to your own interpretation. Like the latter, the second bedroom is also carpeted for comfort, with the spacious kitchen graced by low-maintenance timber-look flooring, room for casual meals, split-system air-conditioning, built-in storage and a Chef gas-upright cooker. Brilliant in its simplicity is a practical bathroom with a toilet, shower, vanity and heat lamps. At the rear and off the kitchen sits a delightful covered patio-entertaining area and open-air laundry, featuring a stainless-steel double wash trough. Accessible from next to the double carport, the expansive backyard is very much a "blank canvas" in its current state and comprises of a workshop, as well as decent garden-shed storage options.
