With this kind of two-bedroomed property coming onto the market, first-time buyers, downsizers and investors will all be racing to be ahead of the field.

The front of two units constructed of permanent materials, it offers two good-sized bedrooms and an open-plan living space, with access to the patio and garden via a ranch slider. The kitchen was modernised five years ago, and there's a heatpump for comfort. Sunny and well-proportioned, with a low-maintenance garden and a single garage, this has lots of potential.

But the main advantage of this property is its excellent location. With a bus stop just a few steps away, and both Northwood SupaCentre and Northlands Mall well within 10 minutes drive, the convenience of getting to shops, cafes, restaurants and entertainment is highly appealing. Redwood Primary is also very close by.

If investment is the aim, this has been a very successful rental for the past 21 years and has recently been returning a decent $340 each week, so there's good money to be made.
