It’s said good things come in small packages and the character, quality and comfort of this beautifully appointed free-standing house will certainly grab attention and capture imagination.
Don’t be fooled by its compact facade because what it lacks in width, it makes up for in length.
Its location, just minutes from Mason Street, Newport Lakes Park, schools and the train station, enhances its considerable appeal.
Manicured trees and turfed lawn are laid out as a welcome mat to this cute-as-can-be residence where there’s off-street parking for one car on the paved driveway.
Side entry is into a foyer with polished floorboards which flow through to the north-facing living area on the right.
The kitchen-dining domain on the left has a dishwasher, stone benches, stainless-steel appliances (wall oven, gas cooktop and rangehood) and red-tiled splashback which contrasts with the dark wood-laminate finish on cabinetry.
Off the kitchen, a long hallway heads to two double bedrooms, each with split-system and built-in wardrobe. The stylishly appointed bathroom is also down this end and has an inset bath and fully tiled corner shower.
A key attribute of this property is that it’s framed by a verandah at the back which leads to a decked courtyard.
Landscaped gardens around the courtyard create beautiful surrounds for family entertainment or dinner in the warmer months and privacy for sunbathing on those summer scorchers.
