... and so are a whole lot of other things in your first home, upgrade or investment property.

Location is equally important and sun in the right places can't be undervalued - enjoying a beer and BBQ late in the afternoon on your deck is something you deserve. Space throughout is essential and having four good sized bedrooms with an extra-large master is sure to appeal. The large living room is warmed by a free-standing ambient wood burner, while the house is insulated top and bottom with a DVS system to ensure a dry and healthy home. Enjoy good flow through your semi open plan living with the dining and modern kitchen opening out onto the deck. The bathroom and en-suite are a little dated but still in good order - with the amount of house on offer here, it will be easy to add value to these areas when you choose.

Wow... a 170m2 home plus a single garage, rumpus room and outdoor living, all set on a good-sized section for under $400,000!! If you've been getting disillusioned and a little a bit annoyed at all the poky homes in a comparable price range, then jump in your car, hop on your bike or strap on the sweat band and come down to view.
