Your chance to secure a nothing-to-do, move-in now, dependable brick unit, that has recently undergone a superb renovation with quality fittings and chattels. Spacious open plan living, with room for a dining table and chairs, is a strong feature, and both bedrooms are doubles. Theres even a separate laundry area with room for the fridge, and space off to the side for a study desk if desired. Being the corner end unit, theres light on three sides to enhance the home, and it has lawn and attractive paving at the rear of the property, along with a brand new deck on the northwestern side; this is ideal, well-presented, sunny outdoor living. The home was further enhanced recently with new blinds and a new hot water cylinder, as the owner intended to return from overseas to live there, but sadly, personal health reasons have brought about a change of plans. A level walk to the bustling eateries, boutique shopping, and vibrant community hub of the village, make this even more desirable, along with its nearby train station and bus stops, and youve got proximity to the motorway north or south in just minutes.Call me now to view!
