As agents, we hear this request all the time. Somewhere low maintenance, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. Somewhere light and bright, with enough space to feel like a home, in a location where you can walk to cafés, shops and the waterfront.
Finding all of that within budget is often the challenge. This unassuming home deserves a closer look.
With its own street frontage, the welcome starts before you step inside. Beautiful gardens featuring crepe myrtles and Indian hawthorn hedging frame the home, while crazy paving adds character to the entrance.
Inside, fresh paint and new carpet give the home a clean, welcoming feel. Natural light fills the open plan kitchen, dining and living area, which connects to a north facing courtyard. There's room to enjoy the sunshine and entertain, without spending your weekends maintaining a large backyard.
For downsizers, it's the combination that's often hardest to find: less upkeep without giving up the extra bedrooms, second bathroom or secure double garage. Young couples, families and investors will see the appeal too.
Walk to Pakington Street for coffee, Shannon Avenue for the groceries or the waterfront for some fresh air. Schools and public transport are close by, with easy access to the Ring Road when you need to head further afield.
An easy home to live in, in a location that lets you enjoy more of what Geelong has to offer.
