Charming cottage on Franklin Terrace

Nestled in desirable Franklin Terrace, a quiet established cul-de-sac, this charming 1960s residence offers a peaceful retreat in a picturesque setting. The property's privacy is enhanced by a fabulous elevated deck, perfect for entertaining while surrounded by the tranquility of nature and the delightful symphony of bird life.

The interior showcases an inviting open-plan design, seamlessly connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas.

The kitchen is also well-equipped with a new dishwasher, a freestanding oven, and ample storage.

Two bedrooms open out to the expansive deck, with the master bedroom featuring an elevated outlook and built-in wardrobes, and the second double bedroom has an electric heater. The updated bathroom comprises a shower and a new double vanity, while the separate laundry includes a lavatory and a walk-in storage cupboard, and double cupboards in the hallway offer additional storage. A spacious carport provides a covered entrance into the home, and there's a basement store area under the house, ideal for tools and bikes.

Stay comfortable year-round with a heat pump in the main living area, an electric heater in the hallway, and insulation to the ceiling and underfloor. Additionally, the roof and guttering were replaced about ten years ago, enabling you to simply move in, embrace the concept of easy-care living, and add your own touches to modernise over time as desired.

Private grounds offer a flat lawn area, perfect for pets and children, as well as outdoor seating areas, bountiful citrus, and established plantings. Ideally positioned in a secluded area yet just minutes into the village centre, this enchanting property is perfect for those looking to downsize, professional couples, and small families.
