This solid family home in a popular area a few minutes from town is packed with options for everyday living.

A facelift in recent years has freshened up the home with new flooring, décor, gas heating and a hot water system. So whether the new owners choose to live in it or rent it out, they can leave it just as it is or modernise it further without breaking the bank to create something special.

It’s a double brick and tile home on a 796sqm block with an enclosed back yard for the children and dog, and a choice of indoor and outdoor living areas for everyone to find their own space.

The lounge is a huge, carpeted room with a high ceiling, decorative cornices and plenty of natural light streaming in through a picture window, which lets in the outlook as far as the Porongurups.

Next is the dining area, where there’s a handy built-in wall unit, and then the kitchen, with white cabinetry, gas cooking and attractive original features such as a slatted timber-faced workbench and striking wall tiles complemented by the taupe vinyl plank flooring.

Sliding glass doors from the dining area open onto an impressive games room, the ideal teens’ den, big enough for a pool or table tennis table.

For outdoor living and relaxation, there are two areas to choose from. One is a tiled patio along the back of the house and the other is a covered barbecue area at the side.

Two of the bedrooms are doubles and the third is a big single, and the bathroom has a bath, walk-in shower and vanity, while the toilet is off the nearby laundry.

A drive leads past the house into the gated back yard and a two-bay shed-workshop of 7m x 8m with power connected and an electric door – perfect for DIY projects or working on vehicles. There’s off-road parking for several more vehicles as well.

The property offers ample space for children to work off their energy, but when they want to kick the footy, there’s a delightful park with a playground almost next door.

The bowling club is around the corner, a major supermarket and schools are within easy reach, and it’s only a six-minute drive to the CBD.
