Built in the 1950s and since extended, this weatherboard house is a great family home. It has plenty of living space, a large north facing backyard and a polished-floorboard sunroom overlooking the back garden. The back garden has established orange, lemon, fig, cherry guava and feijoa trees as well as a sandpit and set of swings. Both back and front yards are neat, tidy and have shade trees for summer. The kitchen is roomy with plenty of bench space and cupboard storage. It has a dishwasher, electric cooktop and electric oven. The kitchen, and the adjoining meals area, look out to the back garden across the back deck. The living room has an open fireplace and the whole house has ducted gas heating. The sunroom is full of natural light in all seasons with wall to wall double-glazed windows. Both the gas heating and hot water are 5 star energy rated. There is plenty of storage space throughout, with large built-in wardrobes in each bedroom and large built-in cupboards in the hallway. The house is clean, tidy, functional and ready to live in as is, but could be even better with a renovator’s touch to modernise, repaint and take further advantage of the house’s natural attributes. Some rooms already have polished floorboards, and the timber floors underlying the carpeted areas could also be polished.
