21 Slater St, Lower King WA 6330, Australia

First buyers or investors chasing a neat, affordable property with a budget under $300,000 to work with should check out this pearler.

It’s a comfortable, sunny home of brick and Colorbond with a lovely outlook towards bushland from the rear of its 706sqm corner block.

In a great family area just 12 minutes’ drive from the CBD, it’s also within easy reach of schools, shops and top fishing spots as well as the boat ramp on the shore of Oyster Harbour.

And for stowing the dinghy and parking the 4WD between fishing trips, there’s a big shed with drive-through access to the back yard.

The home is light and pleasant with full-length windows in most rooms and clean, neutral décor, practical and attractive venetian blinds and modern tiling. Timber-look vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the main living area, and the bedrooms are fitted with good carpet.

At the front is a cosy lounge leading to the kitchen with gas cooking and white cabinetry, then through glass doors into an impressive games or hobby room. A Colorbond extension to the original home, this versatile, airy room with glass doors at each end is a great boost to living areas. It lends itself to use as an al fresco-style dining area when entertaining, though for summer barbecues the adjoining gable-roofed, paved patio is sure to be a favourite spot.

The three bedrooms are reached via a hallway off the main living area. Two are good-sized singles and the main bedroom is a big double. Nearby are the renovated bathroom with walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, and the laundry.

For the kids and dog, the back yard is fully fenced and mostly in lawn and there’s stacks of off-road parking at the front, in addition to the shed.

An ideal lock-and-leave for those taking off for winter in warmer climes, it has a security system and a screen at the front door.

Perfectly suited to smaller families, couples or singles, this is a well-priced home for buyers getting their first foot on the ladder or those looking to step down to a manageable property without compromising on amenities.
