If you're first home hunting and you know the benefits of Freehold land, this should be at the top of your "to-view list".

With the abundance of townhouses and apartments flooding the market, this home sets itself apart in this price range with a sizable floor area, freestanding position, freehold section and an elevated position.

There's a character about this home that you'll love, the spacious and open living room boasts high ceilings with exposed timber beams, floor-to-ceiling windows on the Northern side, giving masses of natural light and warmth while also flowing out to the deck and the elevated position for a lovely view.

Being a fee simple section, there is ample off-street parking, it's also positioned in a quiet and sought-after Cul-de-Sac street in a very convenient location, just a few minutes walk from the train station, on a bus route and just a quick drive from Lincoln road, supermarkets and motorway access.

If you are looking for the smart buy, at a time when there is an oversupply of high-density housing, make your way down to an open home or private viewing and secure your space in the property market.
