About this property

Situated in a secure, well-maintained complex in lush, leafy Essenwood—a sought-after suburb known for its tropical greenery, historic architecture, and family-friendly vibe—this spacious townhouse offers modern living with charm.

Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious main suite with built-in cupboards and en-suite with a sky light, plus a landing area ideal for a home-office or homework nook.

Downstairs, a semi-open lounge flows onto a generous patio with an existing bar and seating area—perfect for entertaining or, with minimal effort, converting into a dedicated kiddies' play zone—plus an open-plan dining area, kitchen with scullery (plumbed for dishwasher), separate laundry, and a guest loo.

Beautiful parquet flooring graces the living areas, while the wet rooms and kitchen are tiled. Outside, enjoy your own private tropical garden alongside manicured complex grounds with visitor parking. Added perks include one covered parking bay (with space for a second car parked behind), an energy-efficient heat-pump geyser, and proximity to top schools, shopping (like nearby Musgrave Centre), places of worship and the beachfront—just minutes away.
