Perched high on the hill to take full advantage of its prime corner position and embrace endless sweeping bay breezes, this immaculately presented residence is cleverly designed to combine genuine old-fashioned homeliness and modern day conveniences.

From the moment you step inside the front gate, picture-perfect gardens and superb landscaping will charm you with bursts of colourful flowers and vibrant green foliage. Manicured lawns complete the picture.

Covered for year-round enjoyment, the ultra-breezy rear deck enjoys a panoramic aspect over the block and it surrounds to ensure supervision of children playing in the fully fenced yard is effortless.

The 612sqm block is seemingly much larger than its official proportions due to its lengthy 44mtr frontage and equally impressive 36mtr length at the rear. Considerably elevated and embracing its prime corner allotment, the property's positioning is ideal for inviting cross-ventilation throughout the home's internals. Rare dual-street access is an added bonus for those needing to store a campervan, trailer or tinnie.

Convenience is prime here at 230 Lascelles Street where walking/cycling tracked, expansive family-friendly parkland, reputable schools, shops, dining options and public transport are all within a stone's throw. The vibrant Sandgate/Brighton waterfront is a mere 5 minutes' drive, whilst access to the motorway is on your doorstep making the commute to the north or south coasts easy for weekend getaways.

Inspection is a must to fully appreciate the many lifestyle benefits of this property. Serious house-hunters will know that homes in this highly-regarded neighbourhood and affordable price bracket are rarely released to the market you'll need to act fast to avoid disappointment.
