Appealing proposition for easy living

Northwood, with its wide boulevards and peaceful, familyoriented community quickly became the location of choice for those wanting urban convenience without the rush and noise.

Populated with homes of a uniformly high standard, properties tend to move fast when they do come onto the market.

This attractive, low maintenance home, situated on a quiet and sunny north-facing corner site, will probably prove no exception.

The owner has very pragmatically decided to make her next move while things are still easy for her, opening up this rare opportunity for what is close to entry-level buying in Northwood.

Those who are looking for a beautiful house but without the price tag or larger than needed floor area to go with it may well find this is the one that suits their needs.

With the open plan kitchen, dining and living area all on the north side of the house, it gets the full benefit of sunshine from morning to night.The three bedrooms include a main bedroom with an ensuite, with a second bathroom servicing the other double bedroom and a generously sized single, which opens to the patio, is perfect for overnight guests or a large office.

Set in beautifully landscaped grounds and offering enormous street appeal, with its colonial heritage style brickwork.

The mature garden also has the bonus of being low maintenance.

Outdoor entertaining is well catered for on the north-facing patio, opening off the living area, and which is fully fenced for shelter and privacy.

With an internal access, double garage and shops, services and transport close to hand this is an ideal home for those looking to downsize, busy professional couples or small families.

The single level build also has huge appeal, allowing longevity of tenure for those wanting a life that doesn’t include hauling things upstairs and down.

‘‘It’s an absolute sweetie of a home,’’ says Foss Shanahan, who is marketing the property for Harcourts. ‘‘Properties in Northwood are slow to come onto the market and swift to leave it, so potential buyers would be wise to register their interest as soon as possible.’’
