Solid, Sound, Sturdy and Robust everything first time buyers should have at the top of their list when making a strategic buying decision. 25 Stanley is #1 for couples and families starting out on the property ladder. This one has everything home buyers need in a home.

Built when craftsmanship was all about longevity, constructed with native timber throughout so you have the best of both worlds, some character and appeal that has been updated over the years. Open plan living makes for a great family home, especially with the floorplan providing ample space for the classic big dining table. In addition to the 3 bedrooms, there is a 4th outdoor studio adjoined to the main home, a sunny space as a bedroom, studio or hobbies room. The family will be cosy as too, with air conditioning for year round convenience, and insulation under and over … and talking about over — did you see that brand new roof #awesome.

A big backyard gives you options too, whether you keep as is and simply let the kids loose, or consider repositioning the garaging, and maybe look at subdivision of the site into 2 smaller lots.

The location is super convenient, which makes for easy daily commutes to schools and all the sporting activities; and on raining days if walking or biking isn’t an option; the bus is just down the road.
