Overview

Start or Invest in Forest

This well-maintained four-bedroom home is now on the market for the first time in around seventeen years. The home sits on an easy to maintain block which is fully fenced at the rear, has dual street frontages, a walking track behind and only the one neighbour. The main entry to the home is located off Forest Road and features a small entryway inside the front door. Three bedrooms are located to the southern end of the home, the largest with dual entrances. There is a family bathroom with both bath and shower, perfect for those with young children or grandchildren. A separate toilet and a good-sized laundry complete the southern end of the home. A light and bright kitchen and dining area form the centrepiece of the home and features wood cabinetry, ample bench space and plenty of storage. A centrally located lounge sits alongside and has reverse cycle split system air conditioning and a slow combustion wood heater to help keep the home comfortable all year round. Off the lounge there is a fourth bedroom which could also be used as a study, a second lounge or a children's play area. Stepping out the rear door is a deck which would be a great place to enjoy a coffee in the morning or entertain family and friends in the evening. The deck, kitchen and fourth bedroom have great views across farmland to the mountains in the distance. The home sits on predominantly concrete stumps with hardwood flooring, providing a great, solid base for any future renovation. One of the many great features of the property is the shed to the rear of the property. This would make a great man cave, she-shed, workshop or even teenager's retreat. Electricity is connected and there's parking for two vehicles under the carport to the front of the shed. There's even a concrete ramp to the shed from the rear yard providing easy access for all ages and abilities! A large grid connected, roof mounted solar system on the shed will also assist with keeping those power bills low. The main driveway to the front of the home provides the additional convenience of off-street parking and a single carport. It's only a fifteen-minute drive to the coastal destination of Marlo for water activities and fishing. Orbost has a regional hospital, P-12 Community College and a shopping strip with cafes, supermarkets, banks and variety stores. Lakes Entrance is only around a forty-five minutes' drive for the Gippsland Lakes and the major supermarkets. Don't miss this affordable four-bedroom which is ready to just move in and enjoy. It would make an ideal first home or, with an approximate rental of $410 per week, a great addition to any property portfolio.
