Quality built starter homes are often hard to find. This 3 bedroom Dixon Homes built low set brick and tile home is a good example of of quality building that has already passed the time test as it was built some 18 years ago. It has been rented for many years, but has been well cared for and is in good condition both inside and out. Over the years many improvements have been made to the classic lines including a fully covered and part paved front verandah that swings right around the corner to form a well protected paved carport on the eastern end of the house. With just one car in this space you can walk under cover from the car right to the front door or duck into the living room via the ranch sliders that open into the carport.

Owners have also added an excellent full length paved and solidly roofed over wide back verandah which picks up the morning winter sun and is very well protected from the cooler breezes. Lots of shrubbery and trees along the rear boundary lines give real privacy to this attractive outdoor party sized area that overlooks the open lawn area. The entire back garden is full fenced for dogs and kids with ample room for them to run and play.

The interior floor plan is simple and convenient for the young family lifestyle. With 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom plus separate toilet and separate laundry it has all those necessary features plus decent sized living space that includes extra large windows for extra natural light. While the kitchen is not ultra modern, it is compact and quite serviceable and includes an under bench cooker, double sink and handy pantry for storage. All decor tones are pretty neutral with a touch of soft blue in the bedrooms.

The front garden is simply open lawn with privacy screen shrubbery close to the house. It invites someone with green thumbs and a bit of terracing to turn it into a pretty front garden. Other features here include 2 garden sheds for tools and storage plus a vacant bird aviary awaiting a new occupant or two.

Overall, we would rate this as a good conventional home with the capacity to be enlarged at some time in the future. As it is is, it is ideal for the young family seeking for a first home that will be easy to live in and easy to maintain. It would also suit an investor looking for a low maintenance property that fills the need for the lower end of the market.
