Summer Starts Here

Long summer evenings on the north-facing deck, BBQ sizzling, kids and pets safe in the fenced backyard, this home is built for it. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac with minimal traffic and easy access to town, the gardens, and the beach, 17 Taylor Street balances everyday practicality with genuine lifestyle appeal.

On a generous section, the three-bedroom layout feels relaxed and functional. The kitchen has been smartly updated over time and combines generous storage with plenty of bench space, delivering everyday functionality with ease. A great-size lounge anchors the living zone, while a separate laundry and separate toilet keep day-to-day life simple.

The newly finished bathroom is a standout: a large walk-in shower with dual heads (including a rain option), fresh vanity, new paint, and vinyl deliver a crisp, contemporary feel. All three bedrooms are well-proportioned, offering comfortable spaces to rest and reset.

Outside, drive-on access and off-street parking lead to an extra-large single garage, and at the back you'll find a versatile rumpus/hobby room, perfect for projects, a teen hangout, or extra storage. The deck captures the sun; the adjoining patio is an epic spot for summer gatherings and evening drinks.

It's a home that works beautifully now, with scope to personalise and add value over time. Whether you're upsizing, buying your first place, or looking for a smart, cheerful base close to everything, Taylor Street delivers the mix everyone asks for but rarely finds: space, sunshine, privacy, and potential.
