Leaving a life of renting behind you; or perhaps that first foray into owning your own home went well for a while, but you have simply outgrown the decision. This property in the higher reaches of Cardigan Road offers an opportunity to get started or back onto the property ladder in a blue-ribbon area, at an entry level price.

This engaging home is walk in ready and has the capacity to grow with you if your needs change in the future. Maybe you have already planned to send your children to Billanook College, a mere 300 metres down the road. The quality of existing homes in the particular area has a long and distinguished history, as does the landscape and environment surrounding it.

With lovely street appeal, and loads of off-street parking, there is a formal front door entrance, but most people wander along the large back deck to the double glass French doors. The long, wide verandah effectively acts as another living space, enhancing what's on offer internally. Polished floorboards and high ceilings add to the spacious feel of the home.

A great kitchen, with plenty of storage and bench space, wall oven, dishwasher and 900cm stove top makes food prep easy, and opens into the dining area. Off here is the formal entry and Master bedroom, complete with contemporary ensuite. Double French doors open out on the rear deck.

Back through the home and a very spacious modern, family bathroom serves the remaining two good sized bedrooms. A modern laundry completes the picture; almost!

Because outside, in the garden, various Pods add more usable space to the floorplan. All with electricity, Pod One acts as overflow storage for various items, Pod Two has a home office, complete with plumbed toilet and shower and Pod Three is a hobby room.

Also found on the 1273sqm approximately block is an oversized single garage and carport and plenty of additional open parking to compliment. The low maintenance garden sits behind the quintessential picket fence, with loads of space for children to play, a lovely oak tree in the corner and most importantly expand the footprint of the existing home (STCA) if desired. One only has to look over the picket fence to see the possibilities that abound...
