The buyer who wants a little more bang for their buck will love the extras this fabulous property provides. Built in 1961 this updated north-facing home has been well-maintained and has a neat and tidy street presence. Set on a 648m2 block (approx.) it is ideally suited to first home buyers or upgraders, small families and investors. Boasting extensive covered outdoor areas, there is plenty of room for three vehicles in the carport with auto roller door and the garage behind. Year-round entertaining on a grand scale is a breeze in this versatile and well-equipped outdoor space while the kids will love hanging out in the air-conditioned rumpus room / teen retreat. Mind you, it has a built-in bar so the adults may like to claim it as their own before the kids take over! Stay cool indoors during summer beneath multiple ceiling fans, ducted evaporative air conditioning and a/c wall units. A gutsy gas heater pumps out the heat for a cosy home during winter. Power costs are minimal due to a 1.5 kilowatt eight panel solar system. All three bedrooms have modern carpets, air conditioning and built-in robes while two also enjoy the gentle waft of ceiling fans. A highlight of this appealing family home is the updated kitchen. There is nothing more to be done but enjoy the space in which to create tasty family meals and entertain with ease. Featuring a gas cooktop, wall oven, pantry, Puratap, dishwasher and built-in microwave, this kitchen is both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. Location is everything and this home doesn't disappoint. A choice of primary and secondary schools are super close, including Westminster School and Hamilton Secondary College. Take the bus from nearby Marion Road or hop on the train at the Marion Railway Station. Walk to Mitchell Park Oval for recreational opportunities while Westfield Marion is a short drive away. In either direction you will find it a short journey to the city, the sea or the hills. A brilliant opportunity to secure a well-equipped, nicely presented home in a fabulous location.
