This brick-veneer beauty is big in proportions, charm and appeal and is proof that you should never judge a book by its cover.

Ten years young, this impressive house of about 25 squares is at the end of a no-through road in Clifton Park estate.

The meticulously maintained and updated dwelling will impress long after you step inside.

The front security door opens to the tiled entry hall, which is wider than most.

Immediately to the left is the carpeted lounge room, while the main bedroom is next along the hall. The latter includes a wall-hung TV, a walk-in robe and a neat en suite with shower, vanity and toilet.

The informal living zone and kitchen acts as a central hub, with the large laundry and double garage with remote-controlled door in one direction, the three double bedrooms with built-in robes and renovated bathroom accessed by another passageway, and the covered entertainment area on the other side of the room. Even the dining and family room spaces can be interchanged, depending on your preference. The user-friendly kitchen is equipped with a breakfast bar, appliance cupboard (in the original fridge space), pantry, stainless-steel appliances (Whirlpool underbench oven, Electrolux Chef four-burner cooktop, Fisher & Paykel dual-drawer dishwasher and pull-out rangehood), tiled splashback and skylight.

Ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, NBN and Foxtel connections, solar panels, excellent storage, drapes, insect screens and security doors are other features.

Outdoor entertaining is made easy with the pergola, while manicured gardens (including vegetable beds, lawn and feature fernery on eastern boundary), a steel garage or workshop and a shed further enhance the property.

The 970-square-metre block has the bonus of a second driveway that will appeal to tradespeople with its potential for another four secure off-street parking spaces for your boat, caravan, trailer or other vehicles.

The position will also appeal, with shops and cafes, schools, parkland and freeway access within a short drive.
