4/14 McDonald Street, Preston.

Quietly set within a tidy group, this single-level home has been beautifully maintained and it shows, from the sunny living room to the spotless kitchen and effortless flow through the layout. The living room is a great space to relax, with big windows drawing in lots of natural light. A doorway leads to the dining room and a fresh, functional kitchen with a freestanding stove, glass splashback and modern timber-look cupboards that give it a warm, homely atmosphere. Both bedrooms are generous with built-in robes, and the bathroom has laundry hookups if you want them in one spot. There's also a separate laundry room, so you've got options depending on how you like to set things up. Out the back, there's a private courtyard with space for outdoor dining and pot plants, a garden shed and two car spaces. The location couldn't be handier, with Preston High, Preston West Primary, St Raphael's, St John's College and Melbourne Polytechnic all within walking distance, along with Preston Station and Preston Market. Northland and La Trobe University are close by, and HP Zwar Park and De Chene Reserve are right there for recreation and weekend walks. A well-kept home that's move-in ready, with all the right ingredients for first-home buyers, downsizers or investors who want something bright, spacious and easy to love.
