WOW, what more could you ask for?
The funding is easier thanks to the Deposit Layby program, the house has MASSIVE potential and you don't have to wait, you can buy it NOW!.
The Housing Heroes Deposit Layby will lend you up to $25,000 "Top-Up Deposit Funds" so the home is easy to buy (you pay off your deposit AFTER you already own the home), OR, you can use the $25,000 to finish off the reno.
Most of the work has been done but THANK GOODNESS they they didn't finish it. How else can you add some value to the home and build some equity if everything was done.
If you do it yourself, you'll be miles ahead. PLUS, you get to choose what colours you paint the walls if you want to.
There's not much can go wrong with these homes and they are PERFECT for both owner occupiers and investors.
The main house is a steel-framed, low-set 3 BR home on a concrete slab so there are no dodgy floor boards to worry about scratching and none of that "boomy" echo that haunts timber floorboards when you walk. Nice and stable, and nice and quite to walk on.
In fact, the kitchen and dining room exude nothing less than character and warmth from the rustic slate tiles that give a depth of homeliness we haven't experienced since we were in nappies. Ahhh, memories...
The bathroom has been totally modernized and the 2 toilets are a real bonus!
Looking at some of the photos of previous ways the home was decorated by previous owners (photos available upon request), you can only say one thing....VERSATILE LIFESTYLE!!!!
Indoor and outdoor living can be seemless in this little patch of heaven.
The 14m x 3.5m covered patio out the back is THE spot you'll live during the Qld summers.
Of course, if you don't like being outside, you can stay inside with the AIR-CONDITIONER (yes capitals used to emphasize that it's AIR-CONDITIONED), but GUESS WHAT, it gets better!
You don't have to worry about the power bills because the home has a MONSTER SOLAR SYSTEM (the SunnyBoy system which is one of the best on the market), so crank up the aircon, kick back, and say "Wot da ya mean it's hot?"
To make sure the Air-Conditioner really does its stuff, the cool n' cozy insulation keeps the heat out of the house so you don't have to work the air-conditioner hard trying to beat the belting sun. The insulation stops it in the ceiling.
It's the best of both worlds.
Whether you are wanting to buy the home as an investment, OR you want to buy the place as your new home, LOW-MAINTENANCE is the beautiful buzzword we all like to hear.
And LOW-MAINTENANCE it is!
There are too many impressive things to mention about this home!
Full security screens around the entire house (windows & doors) so you are safe, safe, safe!
The color-bond fence along the back & partial sides (steel remaining fences) means it's great for dogs and kids.
The massive 9m x 6m double lockup garage (built in 2009) has been modified.
They've started "building in" one side and have definitely "broken the back" of the work needed to make it into a livable space. The walls have been lined (heaps of spare plasterboard sheets available to finish it off) and the "built-in" side has been air-conditioned.
If you didn't want the room, you could easily knock out the partition wall and "Vhoila", you've got a double lock up garage again.
The other side is a traditional lock up but it has a work bench and some overhead storage so it's safe to say there's PLENTY of storage.
NOW, what about that POOL. This pool would nearly win a Creative Thinking Award for ingenuity. Who needs to spend $30,000 on a pool when you can cut the top of a 10,000 litre water tank, build a deck around it and put a fence up.
BRILLIANT!!!! Don't you just LOVE AUSSIE INGENUITY!!!
In truth, you could easily remove the pool/tank, put floor boards back in place and turn this deck into and AWESOME Bali-Style deck/meditation area....
In addition to the water tank you DO swim in, there's another water tank you DON'T swim in.
You can use it like a traditional water tank, you know, the sort of water tank you DON'T swim in!!!
The home presents really well from the street with it's rendered brick front. Nice solid modern colours too.
The rest of the home is the wood-grain hardiplank which has stood the test of time in the Aussie conditions. (It's a great product).
The home is only a 5 MINUTE WALK TO the local shopping centre, 3 MINUTES WALK TO pre, primary & secondary schools, 1 MINUTES WALK TO the bus stop & park, 2 MINUTES DRIVE TO the golf club, 3 MINUTES DRIVE TO rail & the major shopping centre, 4 MINUTES BY CAR TO the hospital & TAFE.
A GREAT AREA FOR A FAMILY!
With no rear neighbours and being at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you have a beautiful, tranquil lifestyle that is close to everything.
And to top it all off, you can buy this house using the Deposit Layby where you pay off your deposit AFTER you already own the home (visit the HousingHeroes.com.au website for more info).
