2/1-3 Seymour Street

There's a lot to love about this appealing unit, not least the excellent location and the bargain price making it a realistic option for first buyers, singles, couples and investors. It's one of only eight in a well-maintained complex less than 2km from the town centre and within walking or biking distance of iconic Middleton Beach, as well as good primary and high schools. Built of double brick and tile and occupying a lot size of 91 sqm, the 1970s built home in still in fairly original condition but it wouldn't take much to modernize key areas and transform its look. For a single person, couple or small family, it's comfortable and welcoming, and easy to maintain. Inside the front door is the open lounge and dining area, proudly displaying retro floor tiles and painted exposed brick wall surfaces. This leads on to the compact U-shaped kitchen at the back, overlooking the courtyard. It boasts above and below bench cabinetry and an electric stove and oven. This is a great space for someone wanting to give a simple renovation a go for the first time, but would also be a breeze for an experienced renovator to work their magic within. The wet room has a clever space saving design, incorporating the shower, toilet and laundry. It makes the most of the space with room to move and again, would be a relatively simple renovation project for those wanting to update the décor. One of the bedrooms is double sized and the other is even bigger, making it suitable for two children's beds while still having enough space left over for indoor playtime. Two steps from the back door lead down to the fully fenced, paved courtyard. Out the front of the property there's plenty of car parking space for owners and their visitors. This is a solid proposition for owners appreciating low maintenance living near the coast and easy access to all amenities on offer in the City, as well as landlords with an eye on good returns and growth potential.
