Ignore CV - vendor wants sold!

This older two bedroom abode needs some attention but this will be brilliant entry level buying - don't hesitate - it is a great bach.

Set slightly up off the road, the elevation and established trees provide a private haven whether holidays or all year round living.

The living area is light filled and opens out to wrap around decking, perfect for those lazy, hazy summer days, and a relaxed beach lifestyle. The two bedrooms are set apart providing harmonious living for two couples or those with children wanting to enjoy a get away from a busy city life or would be perfect for a couple of someone on their own wanting the joy of living here all year round. The air conditioning is welcome on hot summer days or cool winter nights and, for alfresco dining, decking on three aspects offers shelter for the barbie whatever direction the wind.

Away from the main road yet an easy walk for the kids to MAZ and the skate park, they can use up some energy while you grab a coffee from MAZ or the Museum cafes. You can also trundle up to the golf course for a round or maybe one of the many fun activities at The Club and if you have a boat or jet ski it is just 3kms to pop it in the water and head on out on the briny blue for some kai moana or teach the kids to wake board or ski.

The rear, level, section is fully fenced for peace of mind with children and pets and a great pozzie for lawn games or relaxing after a day at the beach - think cocktails and nibbles on the deck while the kids play scrabble or corn hole! A side gate allows you to pop a jet ski or small trailer through to the rear and, with an outdoor shower, fish bench, and easy external access to the laundry, it is simple to sort everything after aquatic fun. There is also a garden shed to put the golf clubs, fishing gear and other paraphernalia in.

Life doesn't get much better here and with the market looking to re-energise now is the time to invest.
