Bought brand new and owned by the one young family, this easy-to-navigate townhouse in ever-evolving Maidstone is surrounded by new builds, Edwardians, townhouses and renovated houses. Wide and lined with gum trees, the street has a welcoming charm.

The single garage to the left has internal access and a smaller-rear rolling door which creates a thoroughfare to the courtyard, great when entertaining on balmy summer nights.

On entry, floating floorboards and downlights open up the space. The first bedroom is on entry. It’s carpeted in a hard-wearing grey pile, has a built-in robe and receives good light from the large front window.

A small closeted laundry saves on space. It’s off the hall leading to the contemporary main bathroom. A corner-set, three-quarter bath is perfect for small children.

Floating floors continue through to the kitchen, meals and lounge area, where sliding glass doors open to the courtyard. It’s been put to great use with a thriving food garden running along its perimeter including lemongrass, potatoes, parsley
and sage.

Growing along the back fence are three different species of hops, perfect for the budding home-brewing aficionado.

The ever-green hops provide a lovely outlook from the kitchen where granite stone benchtops and good storage are a great asset. Stainless-steel appliances include a dishwasher, oven and gas cooktop.

The main, carpeted bedroom (up carpeted stairs with double-height feature stairwel) is a great space with a walk-in robe and modern en suite.

The property is within walking distance
of three parks and an easy 15-minute
walk to your choice of two supermarkets, not to mention the plethora of new cafes
on offer.
