About this property
Commanding its own street frontage and boasting a highly sought-after north-facing backyard, this light-filled residence is bathed in sunshine from morning through to afternoon, creating a warmth and energy that is felt in every room. Instantly welcoming and wonderfully private, it's the kind of home that captures your heart the moment you walk through the door. Tucked within the sought-after Coatesville Primary School zone and close to South Oakleigh Secondary College, the location makes everyday life simple. Morning coffees at Mackie Road Shops, weekend walks through Mackie Road Reserve, a quick trip to Chadstone Shopping Centre or dinner in Oakleigh Centralit's all within easy reach, without the hustle. Inside, the layout flows naturally. A welcoming entrance opens into a generous living space where you can stretch out, with a handy nook that works perfectly as a home office or study corner. The dining area sits comfortably alongside a refreshed kitchen that's been thoughtfully updatedcomplete with a 900mm oven, gas cooking, stainless-steel dishwasher and a breakfast bar that quickly becomes the spot everyone gathers around. Out the back is where this home really shines. The north-facing alfresco is covered, private, and filled with sunlightideal for slow weekend lunches or evening catch-ups. It flows through to a courtyard with a built-in BBQ, ready for when friends drop by or family comes over. The three bedrooms are quietly positioned away from the living zones, each with mirrored robes, creating a sense of separation and privacy. They're serviced by a central bathroom with both a bath and separate showerpractical and well considered. Finished with heating and cooling, warm timber floors underfoot, a double carport, generous laundry, garden shed, and a front garden where kids or pets can play safely, it's a home that's easy to enjoy from day one. Currently returning an impressive $840 per week until mid-July, the home is leased to a respectful, house-proud family who maintain the property to an exceptional standard, offering immediate income with genuine peace of mind. Whether you're starting out, slowing down, or simply looking for something low-maintenance without compromise, this is one that feels a little more like home.
