If your first home wish list includes three bedrooms, good living space, a decent backyard and garaging, 161 Jollie Street could be a very sensible place to start.
Tidy, neutral and easy to live in from day one, this low-maintenance home offers the kind of practical layout that works particularly well for young couples and families wanting room to grow without taking on a major renovation project.
One of the real surprises here is the spacious living room. There’s plenty of room to spread out, with a heat pump providing convenient, efficient heating through the cooler West Coast months. Ceiling and underfloor insulation add another layer of everyday comfort. The adjoining conservatory gives you even more usable space – think morning coffee, a sunny reading nook, play space for younger children or simply somewhere to sit and unwind. From here, the home flows through to the combined kitchen and dining area, creating a practical separation between your everyday living and meal spaces.
Two double bedrooms and one single - each has a built-in wardrobe, making this a home that genuinely works for a family. The neutral interior décor keeps things light and easy, while also giving new owners a great blank canvas to gradually introduce their own personality and style. The bathroom is another practical feature, with both a separate bath and separate shower – particularly handy with children in the household. A separate toilet and separate laundry add to the functionality and help make busy mornings that little bit easier.
Outside, the Hardiplank exterior, aluminium joinery and a recent repainted roof help keep ongoing maintenance manageable, while the section provides enough room for children and pets to enjoy some genuine outdoor space.
A detached single garage is complemented by an adjoining carport, providing useful additional covered parking and storage.
For first-home buyers, this is the sort of property that ticks plenty of the important boxes – three bedrooms, generous living, insulation, easy heating, outdoor space and garaging, all wrapped up in a home that's already very tidy throughout.
And for investors? The practical three-bedroom configuration, easy-care construction and tidy presentation make 161 Jollie Street equally worthy of consideration as a rental proposition.
Whether you're looking for that all-important first set of house keys or your next investment, this is a home that simply makes sense.
