Some homes just make sense for where you're at in life.

You need more bedrooms. You want a backyard the kids can actually use. You'd rather not compromise on schools. And you'd like to buy well without stretching yourself thin. This is that home.

Five bedrooms on a 643m² section in Parklands, with a separate lounge and dining and a north-facing backyard that gets the sun from morning through to evening. The living areas open straight out to it. The section is ready for whatever your family wants to do with it.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms sit alongside a single — handy now as an office or storage, and a reasonable case for adding a second bathroom down the track when the time is right.

The practical stuff is sorted. Heat pump, underfloor heating in the bathroom, partial double glazing, and a separate double garage.

Queenspark Primary, Avonside Girls', and Shirley Boys' are all zoned for this address. Bottle Lake Forest and Travis Wetlands are close by. The beach is a bike ride away. Shops and the library are just down the road.

This is a practical buy in a suburb that rewards it.
