44 Francis Street, Lower King, WA 6330

Just around the corner from the shore of Oyster Harbour, great fishing spots and the boat ramp, this two-storey home on an 809sqm block offers flexibility and several living options for active families.

A big property for the price, it represents excellent buying for owners recognising the amazing potential it holds.

Some touches have been added in recent years, and while the place needs more than a little TLC, it could be a straightforward project that will appeal to buyers needing an affordable home to accommodate a brood, and to investors looking for a well-priced rental with the promise of excellent returns.

Modernising the kitchen, replacing floor coverings and window treatments, giving it a good scrub and freshening up the d?cor will pay dividends by potentially adding value and delivering a coveted coastal lifestyle.

On the ground floor is an air-conditioned, open family room and dining area with the kitchen on one side. While the kitchen has a big footprint and space for an island bench, it's crying out for a makeover.

There's a games room or lounge at the back, with doors onto a long, paved and sheltered patio overlooking the gardens.

Of the four bedrooms on this level, one would be ideal for use as an office or study. All are double sized, one has built-in robes, and one has its own modern shower room and little area for a microwave and kettle.

The main bathroom has a bath with a shower over, a toilet and vanity, and a third shower is part of the laundry, which has good, fitted cabinetry as well as linen and broom cupboards.

Upstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a lovely outlook to Oyster Harbour and the hills of Gull Rock.

A double-length garage, reached via a drive at the side of the house, has a workshop area at the back, and there's a garden shed for the tools as well as a small chook run.

With lawns, hedges, easy-care natives and a few trees for privacy and shelter, the gardens are fenced to contain children and pets, and offer ample scope for growing veggies.

In a quiet, leafy area, the property is within easy reach of good schools, a shopping centre and scenic walk trails, and only a 15-minute commute to town.

Chock-full of possibilities, it will bring myriad rewards for owners with foresight and a willingness to roll up their sleeves. This property is being sold ?As Is? which means in its current condition. Building, timber pest, electrical and plumbing repairs are available upon request.
