78 Balnarring Beach Road, Balnarring, Vic 3926

The perfect candidate for a cheap and cheerful modern makeover, this solid 3BR home on 891sqm is ideally situated within strolling distance of the village, primary school, tennis courts and bowling club and just a few moments' drive from beautiful Balnarring Beach.

In need of more dash than cash, there's nothing here that won't respond beautifully to a straightforward cosmetic update - well within the abilities of first time or serial renovators - making this a smart investment for a young family, downsizers or canny investors looking to value-add.

Inside, the existing layout works well with a comfortable lounge room complete with cosy wood heater flowing into a generous kitchen and meals area where sliding doors make for an easy flow to the paved barbecue patio.

The master bedroom features good built-in storage, an ensuite and bonus study or sitting room, while two additional bedrooms, both with built-in robes, share the tidy original main bathroom that will certainly do the job while your plans take shape.

With potential for a bay view from a second storey addition (STCA) worth investigating, extras include reverse-cycle airconditioning, a handy garden shed and drive-through carport to a lock-up garage at the rear.
