If you're looking for a home with modern updates and character but want the hard work done, this one is well worth a look.

Built in the 1920s, this home has great street appeal with its striking black trim, a design feature that continues through to the smart new fencing and interior detailing.

Inside, you will love the character of the higher ceiling height and wider skirting boards, with French doors opening into the family-friendly open-plan living area.

The owners have rewired, added wall insulation, and installed a sleek new kitchen and extra bathroom, while the indoor/outdoor flow leads out to the new covered deck for enjoying the afternoon sun.

There is good off-street parking and plenty of outdoor space around the home, with room to add a storage shed or two.

Tucked away in a cul-de-sac, this updated, move-in ready home in St Leonards offers easy modern living with all the hard work already completed inside.
