Snug As A Bug

This sweet little number, extensively renovated, offers affordability in an excellent area - ideal as a first home or for young retirees wanting to make the most of their beach life. Down the road is the thriving hub of the Bayfair Shopping Centre, with shops and cafes aplenty and parks, public pools, gyms and a raft of other amenities are all within easy reach. Or venture the short distance to the glory that is the Mount beach and spend a leisurely day with the sand, sea and surf. A wood fire ensures you stay toasty over the winter period and for the coming summer, this property creates the perfect retreat, with its fully fenced section and private backyard. Sunny, with seating area large enough to host more than a friend or two, the garden is bracketed by raised gardens playing host to a lovely mix of veg and ornamental plantings. Passionfruit, mandarin, clementine, grapes, guava and feijoa are peppered around the property. The extra-large garden shed provides the space to stash the bike, garden equipment and beach toys. Wood shelving provides a warm accent to the crisp, whites of the kitchen, there's an unexpected amount of storage cupboard space and a separate toilet and laundry provides those practical extras. Being the rear unit puts you closest to your covered carport and enhances your privacy. New roofing, new carpet, updated bathroom and kitchen and fresh paint mean this home is lovingly presented and is sure to bring the same joy to the next new owner. It's a must see.
