Fine family abode: 16 Rosina Drive, Melton, 3337

With Woodgrove shopping centre, Melton Secondary College and Coburn Primary School all less than five minutes away by car, this well-maintained house on about 600 square metres is in a prime spot for a family. Western Freeway entry is just down the road and Melbourne CBD can be reached in 30 minutes. Investors, too, will be taking note of this one.

Entry is to a tiled hallway, to the right of which – through an archway – is a grey-carpeted lounge room. This links with a tiled family-meals area that has an accent wall of exposed bricks intersected with mirrors.

The large kitchen has plenty of cream-panelled cupboards, lots of laminate bench space, a pantry, dishwasher and an under-bench oven and gas cooktop. Bifolds from the family sitting zone open to a floorboarded study that could serve as fourth bedroom. Three fitted and grey-carpeted bedrooms include the main with large mirrored robes and ceiling fan. The bedrooms share a good-sized bathroom with dual vanity basins.

An undercover deck and another deck open to the sunshine have views of pretty gardens and thriving lawn. In one corner, there’s a decked gazebo for a morning cuppa. Next to it is a netted vegie patch, with a water tank to service the gardens.

Included are two garden sheds, a garage, carport and six solar panels.
