Offered to market on an “as-is” basis, flourishing gardens wrap the exterior and provide excellent screening behind the high walls. A tiled front porch guides you inside to 60s retro charm; original jarrah floorboards, linoleum flooring, awning windows, and a simple kitchen with laminate benchtops, breakfast bar and electric cooking. The lounge is light and bright with walls of south-facing glass while the kitchen overlooks the north-facing backyard with bursts of colourful bougainvillea, a large shed, and timber pergola above a paved courtyard. The laundry sits adjacent to the kitchen with exterior access and another door to the hallway where you’ll find three ample-sized bedrooms and a well-maintained bathroom featuring mosaic tiling, a built-in bath, neat vanity, corner shower and separate WC. Completing this retro home is a newly installed switchboard and instant hot water system.

Outside there’s plenty of scope to transform this area into the garden zone of your dreams, including space for a pool at the rear. Behind the secure gate, a single car port offers room to park your car off-street with tandem parking available for an additional vehicle or trailer.
