Come Get Me!

This enduring weatherboard bungalow, typical of its 1950s era, sits on a finger of land surrounded on three sides by the superb nature realm of popular Yatton Park. Savouring the spin-offs that come from having the nearby tuis and other native birds paying a visit now and then, this hugely sunny north-facing home is tricked out with lots of treats. In this affordable post code close to the green spaces and harbour inlet, first home buyers will be looking to leap and secure this superb spot for themselves. Ideal too for those with children who will be able to safely play after school on the flat lawns that encircle the house.

Single level living sits above a garage with additional storage for the bikes and boards. The lounge is a cozy and sun-drenched space warmed right now by a crackling fire and heat pump. But come summer, the ceiling fan will be whirling and you’ll be out the French doors and lazing on that enormous sheltered deck maybe christening the new barbecue with steaks and snarlers. The original timber flooring anchors the old-school dine-in kitchen and is an elegant foil to the pastel-toned floor to ceiling cabinetry. There’s scope here and there to update and modernise but all is good to go right now while you create your Pinterest boards for the future. Three bedrooms are all carpeted and well-served by a stylishly modernised bathroom with endless gas hot water, useful separate toilet and laundry room.

The tidily landscaped section features plenty of grass for dogs to chase their tail or a ball and has raised beds and full fencing. In the rear yard a split-level cubby house and fort is ready to delight eager youngsters. Close to excellent amenities with Fraser Cove shopping precinct only minutes away and handy for schools, childcare centres, bus transport and a 15-minute commute by car to the CBD.
