7 Ashford Street, Templestowe Lower VIC 3107

Why settle for second best when you can own a home that registers full marks in terms of presentation, investment potential and location.

Occupying a smart sub-divided allotment with no common land, easy-care landscaped gardens and a paved entertaining courtyard that requires minimal upkeep, low maintenance living is at the centre of this immaculately presented residence, which boasts three bedrooms with built-in robes, two new reverse-cycle air-conditioning units and gas ducted heating and is ideally suited to empty nesters or the busy professional desiring space but not necessarily the high maintenance of a larger home on a bigger block.

High ceilings, loads of light and carpeted floors add style and space to the radiant lounge and formal dining, while a well-appointed timber kitchen will appeal to cooks of any level. The amount of cooking you do, however, is up for debate, given the number of trendy restaurants that reside nearby, from those within walking distance at trendy Templestowe Village to the popular eateries at Macedon Square and Westfield Shoppingtown.

Walking distance access to St Kevin's Primary School and Finns Reserve will appeal to parents of young children, while the close proximity of Templestowe Heights Primary School, Templestowe College, bus transport and the Eastern Freeway will be of particular interest to the astute investor.
