6/3-5 Littler Court Altona Meadows, VIC 3028

Fresh paint throughout, sanded and polished timber floors below and new carpet above - the presentation here is immediate, and the appeal is straightforward to understand.

This two-storey townhouse makes its case through liveability rather than excess. Ground floor open-plan living connects kitchen, dining and lounge in a format that works without asking anything of its next owner - polished floorboards, gas cooking and a layout that opens via sliding door to a private courtyard and deck. It's a relationship between inside and out that suits daily life as readily as it suits a relaxed weekend afternoon.

A ground-floor bedroom sits alongside the main bathroom - bath and overhead shower - before the staircase delivers a first floor that justifies the format. The main bedroom is generous, skylit and independently climate-controlled via its own split system. The study alongside it is carpeted and adaptable - a home office or a second living space

One allocated car space, proximity to Central Square Shopping Centre and straightforward access to local parklands and bus connections complete a picture that speaks equally to first-home buyers who want to move straight in and investors who recognise consistent, reliable appeal when they see it. The work is done - what remains is simply the decision.
