For anyone looking for a family solution of ready top move-in and not worried about architectural merit.

Position

From the street, you might drive by and think, “Not sure I like this one.” It presents a little like a spec home at first glance. But don’t be fooled — it’s a better version of a spec home.

Property

• Age: Around 25 years old, though it doesn’t really look it — the home has aged well.
• Land: Substantial, with a north-facing rear that adds light and appeal.
• Flow: Works well — nothing to fault in terms of layout.
• Bedrooms: Surprisingly large — much bigger than you’d expect for this style of home.
• Overall feel: A bit of a “Plain Jane” on first impression, and you may still feel that way after a full walk-through — but it’s a very good Plain Jane. Solid, functional, and reliable.

Summary

This isn’t a statement home or a showpiece, but it is a quality, practical family home that offers more than you think at first glance. A little understated, yes, but well-built, functional, and sitting proudly on its block with the right orientation.
