5b Hobson Close, Bellingen NSW 2454

This compact, 2-bedroom duplex is torrens title, and located in the quiet neighbourhood of North Bellingen. Modern, simple and easily maintained, this brick-and-tile home is ideal for investors, first-home buyers and retirees. Beautifully presented throughout, this home has been well maintained and cared for. With a front patio and sizeable rear deck, there is plenty of covered outdoor space to enjoy the quiet all around you.

Set in a beautiful neighbourhood, the local birdlife will welcome you as you step out of your car onto the paved driveway. In the afternoons, you can relax on the front porch and take in the view of Old Man Dreaming in the distance.

The duplex is laid out in the classic, townhouse style: carpeted, open-plan living (6 x 5.5m) and a kitchen (2.6 x 2.6m) on the right, and single, lock-up garage and laundry (with side access to the backyard) to the left. The kitchen offers reasonable bench space, an electric oven and cooktop, a double sink and double door pantry.

Up the hall, to the left, you'll find the bathroom with shower and vanity, next to the separate dual-flush toilet. The second bedroom (4m x 2.8m) is light and airy and has a view of the backyard.

The master bedroom (4 x 3.5m) feels pleasantly large, with mirrored built-ins and large, screened glass sliding door leading onto the generous 3 x 8m covered deck - your own quiet retreat offering surprising privacy in this setting. The small garden, complete with a palm tree, is just enough to keep you happy in the garden but not chained to the maintenance.
