5/85 Macfarlane Burnet Avenue

Set on one easy level in a quiet Macgregor complex, this three-bedroom townhouse offers north-facing living, a private paved courtyard and internal access from the lock-up garage, with no stairs anywhere. Vacant and ready to move straight into, it suits first home buyers wanting a home of their own, downsizers looking to simplify, and anyone after low-maintenance living close to transport.

The open plan kitchen, dining and living area runs to the north, so winter sun reaches the main living space and flows out to the courtyard. The kitchen has laminate benchtops, a breakfast bar, an electric cooktop and oven, and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. Timber-look vinyl plank flooring runs through the living areas, with a reverse cycle split system for year-round comfort.

The three bedrooms sit away from the living area, with carpet throughout and built-in robes to the main and second bedrooms. The two-way bathroom, with access from the main bedroom, has both a bath and a separate shower, so there is no stepping over a bath to shower, plus a separate toilet. A separate laundry, two linen cupboards and a coat cupboard at the entry keep storage well covered.

Built in 2009 to a 6-star energy rating, with R3.5 ceiling and R1.5 wall insulation, the home is designed to stay comfortable without working the heating hard. The north-facing courtyard is a private spot for morning coffee, a few pots or a weekend barbecue, and the single garage gives secure parking with direct access inside.

A bus stop is around 50m from the complex, Macgregor Primary School is about a 10 minute walk, and Kippax Fair is a short drive away. For buyers who want single level living, north sun and a home they can simply move into, this one ticks the boxes that matter.
