Facing its large front yard, the house is well oriented for sun and has covered entrance porch opening into a generous central hallway. Largely carpeted with vinyl flooring in high traffic areas, the home's era suggests that if original native timber floorboards beneath are in good shape, they could attractively enhance any future renovation. A separate living room faces north and comprises of a wall mounted heat pump and double doors connecting to a spacious dining room. The kitchen boasts black granite benchtops and plenty of cabinetry while an adjoining foyer is the link connecting separate laundry with small, attached bathroom, and a covered conservatory/sunporch.

The easy accessed flat and fenced section has a large carport, tool shed, and ample parking to the rear, while the front garden comprising flat lawns and fruit trees would respond well to further landscaping to tidy-up.
