Uninterrupted views to the Pentland Hills are just one highlight of this lovingly-maintained Melton West home.
On a landscaped 555-square-metre block at the end of a no-through road and close to child care, a convenience store and bus, the dwelling is close to Melton Waves Leisure Centre, schools and a playground.
Coburns Central and Woodgrove shopping centres and a cinema complex are also nearby.
Epitomising value for money, particularly for first-time buyers with their stamp duty concessions, the brick-veneer residence has about 16 squares of living space in its practical, single-level layout.
The long entry hall with floating floorboards provides a welcoming introduction to the house, which is about 10 years old.
To the left is the main bedroom which features an air-conditioner, walk-in wardrobe and en suite with corner shower, vanity and toilet.
Further along the hall is direct access
to the garage which includes shelving
and rear access, and a versatile sitting room that could be used as an office or theatre room.
A doorway at the end of the hall leads into another wing that includes two bedrooms with mirror-front wardrobes
and ceiling fans; a light-filled laundry
with linen press; separate toilet; and the family bathroom with shower, bath and vanity.
But it’s the informal living and dining zone at the rear where most of the day-to-day activities take place.
Its centrepiece is the vinyl-wrap kitchen, but includes the lounge room with LG Neo Plasma split-system, and a meals area that opens on either side to a deck that provides plenty of options for entertaining.
The kitchen is equipped with stainless- steel appliances (Fisher & Paykel wall oven, Simpson rangehood and Simpson Eziset four-burner gas cooktop); microwave shelf; tiled splashback; and island bench set with Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.
The low-maintenance backyard includes a steel shed, and fruit trees including mandarin and lemon.
Parking poses no problems, with a remote-controlled double garage.
Extras such as ducted heating, alarm and security doors enhance the property’s considerable appeal.
