1/29 Deane Street, Frankston VIC 3199

Coupling surprising serenity with absolute convenience on the perimeter of Frankston city centre, this two-bedroom unit ticks every box for savvy starters, downsizers and investors looking for affordability and great value.

Claiming the coveted front allotment in this leafy complex, with a private barbecue deck out the back for alfresco affairs, low maintenance living is redefined from this sweet retreat just a stone's throw to shops, public transport, recreational facilities and amenities.

Cleverly amplifying a sense of spaciousness, the sizeable living room off the formal entry is filled with natural light via large north-facing windows, while in a separate zone, the kitchen and meals area allows plenty of square footage to prepare Sunday brunch.

Better yet, step out to the rear courtyard, fire up the grill and invite a few friends over, or simply recline into a deckchair on balmy afternoons with the latest bestseller.

Just 750m to Monash University, the home includes built-in robes, a full bathroom with tub, shower and separate toilet beside the laundry, gas heating, split-system air conditioning and a lock-up garage.
