74 Budge Street, Riversdale

OPEN HOME: Sun, 11 Oct 1:00pm - 1:30pm

Some homes offer the things that matter every day, good proportions, warmth, privacy and spaces that work. Tucked away behind its own private frontage, this solid built home is a wonderfully practical option for those looking to take their first step onto the property ladder, simplify life, downsize into or add a proven investment to their portfolio.

Inside, the home offers two genuine double bedrooms, with the main bedroom particularly generous in size and featuring a newer heat pump installed in 2023. Both bedrooms have built in wardrobes, while a second heat pump provides additional comfort throughout the home. There have been a number of thoughtful updates over the years, including a modernised bathroom which features a tiled shower over bath, a new oven and dishwasher approximately five years ago, and fresh internal paintwork. The laundry has also been lined and painted, creating a much more considered and functional space, while the hot water cylinder was replaced in 2021. There is also a handy additional room near the kitchen, currently used for storage, giving you somewhere to keep the things you would rather have tucked away, or an opportunity to convert this versatile space further.

Outside, the property continues to deliver on practicality. The fully fenced section feels private and secure, with a long driveway providing 2 off street parking spaces in tandem. The covered, north facing patio is an inviting spot to sit back and enjoy the sunshine while looking across the private front yard. A surprisingly spacious separate laundry space adds another layer of flexibility, currently doubling as another excellent storage area.

Currently tenanted on a periodic tenancy and Healthy Homes compliant, this is a property that has already proven its rental appeal while offering plenty of potential for its next owner. Whether you are searching for your first home, looking to downsize without compromising on practicality, or seeking a reliable addition to your investment portfolio, this is a home where the sensible details have already been taken care of. Sometimes, the most appealing homes are simply the ones that make everyday life feel easy.
