This solid, single level home sits on a sunny site in a central area with great access to all amenities. With fabulous dual access via two concrete driveways, this traditional weatherboard house has three bedrooms and all the main living on one floor, with a large garage underneath.

The home features beautiful original hardwood flooring, solar water heating, and a heat pump in the spacious living area. This open-plan space includes a sizeable kitchen with a large built-in pantry and plenty of room for the living and dining furniture. It opens out to a capacious covered veranda where there’s plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A charming tranquil setting which looks out over the garden to a peaceful, semi-rural scene. The deck wraps around to one side, with steps leading to the lawn.

All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the bathroom, with shower, has a separate toilet.

Down the main concrete driveway, the double garage has an electric door and a separate laundry area to one side. The second driveway leads directly to the front door, offering superb access for offloading the shopping or zipping inside when it’s raining. With a fully fenced garden planted out at the borders, including a lovely line of olive trees, the lawn can be left as is or planted out to create your own landscaping masterpiece.

So close to the bustling village hub of Ostend and just around the corner from the bus stop, this

sturdy home would be a great option for retirees, a young family or commuters wanting to hop to the ferry.

With its three bedrooms and location not too far from the schools, it would also be a super renter or a solid investment for first home buyers. And, with room to park the cars and the boat, it could also be a good option for holidaymakers looking for a second home.
