Affordable Entry with Huge Backyard Potential

Looking for a solid start or a practical investment? This property delivers the fundamentals with a massive 1,199m² (approx.) block and highly sought-after rear yard access. Located approximately 1.4km from the Ararat CBD and within close proximity to West End schools and kindergartens, this is an honest, well-maintained home that offers convenience and plenty of space to utilize.
The Basics, The Location & The Big Shed
Positioned in a family-friendly pocket handy to local schooling, the standout feature here is the sheer size of the land. The block provides a large, low-maintenance canvas with direct vehicle access to the backyard. Out back, the powered shed with concrete flooring, two roller doors, and a PA door provides excellent storage for tools, trailers, or a workshop. Structurally, the house was restumped about 5 years ago, and it features a practical heat pump hot water system to help keep running costs down.
Functional Living Zones
The layout is split into two straightforward living areas to give everyone their own space.
You step straight into the front lounge room, which gets good natural light and relies on a split system for heating and cooling. This area leads through to the modernised kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is neat and functional, finished with vinyl flooring, a pantry, tiled splashback, induction cooking, a double sink, a dishwasher, and an oven.
The master bedroom is a good size and includes a built-in robe and a privacy blind, while the other two bedrooms are standard, practical rooms. They are serviced by a central bathroom equipped with a shower, bath, vanity, and IXL exhaust fan, with a separate toilet located off the laundry. At the back of the house, the second living area acts as a casual family room, featuring a wood fire, an air conditioner, and direct access out to the yard.
Ideal for First Buyers or Investors
First Home Buyers: If you want a comfortable, move-in-ready home close to town and schools without the price tag of a brand-new build, this is a great place to start. The big ticket structural item-the restumping-is already done.
Investors: Thanks to its practical location near schools and the CBD, this property holds great appeal. Once fully compliant with current rental standards, it has the potential to bring in $420 to $450 per week, making it a reliable addition to your portfolio.
