In a well-managed strata complex The Gums midway between the city and Middleton Beach, this attractive freestanding unit promises privacy, security and comfort.
The Gums is aptly named for its strategically retained tall eucalypts among the homes, which are all individually designed around a common exterior theme of pastel rendered brick and with lawns and flower beds enhancing the garden setting of the complex.
Unit 15, near the entrance, has two mature gum trees and an area of lawn and gardens at the front, making a welcoming introduction to the property.
Extensive paving leads to a double carport at the front door, which opens onto the living area comprising the lounge, dining space and kitchen.
A gas heater keeps the place cosy in winter, and a cooling summer breeze can be enjoyed by opening the glass doors onto the back yard.
This private yard is a lovely adjunct to the main living area with its paved courtyard under a pergola, an area of lawn and garden beds for growing herbs, veggies and flowers.
With appealing cabinetry, space for a dishwasher and microwave, a recess for the fridge/freezer and a breakfast bar, the kitchen is a practical and pleasant workspace overlooking the garden.
A hallway off the lounge leads to the three bedrooms. The main bedroom has a bay with twin windows and a walk-through robe to an en suite shower, vanity and toilet.
One of the others is a double with a built-in robe and the third is a good-sized single.
The main bathroom nearby has a bath, shower and vanity and the toilet is separate, off the adjacent laundry.
Neutral dcor, carpets and blinds are other advantages, and security screens add to the owners peace of mind.
Another bonus is a good-sized outdoor shed, with built-in shelving, as part of the main building.
This is a highly appealing unit for couples, singles or small families valuing location and easy living, and for those looking for a solid, well-maintained investment property in a complex with a proven history of good rental returns.
