1/44 Mary Street, West Mackay, Qld 4740

This stand-alone unit is one of two on the block and offers double gates to a yard where you could park a boat and a caravan.

There is a single-car garage with internal access, a hard stand at the front, the double gates to the yard, and a large concrete area at the back that all provide parking options for cars, a boat and a van.

Set on 231sq m of land plus the driveway, the property is effectively a two-bedroom house with decent outdoor space while still having very low-maintenance grounds.

 It has enormous potential for someone who can see the qualities that set it apart from the average unit.

Located in super-central Mary St, the property has easy access to the IGA, Parkside shopping centre, the pharmacy, the hospital, schools, the CBD and Paget.

The solid block unit has a spacious, open-plan family room with lounge and dining areas, a large kitchen with breakfast bar, two generous bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, bathroom with separate toilet and separate laundry.

While the unit is ready for a makeover, with an original kitchen, bathroom and wall paneling, it is clean, functional and very livable until you get the renos done.

But it's the easy-access outdoor spaces that set it apart from the average unit, including the  big concrete area at the back that faces east so it gets the summer breeze and afternoon shade, making it ideal for an outdoor entertainment area.

This property would suit a range of buyers: a young person or couple getting into the market, an older couple or person wanting to downsize to a low-set, easy access, central property with room for vehicles, or an investor.

Options might include:

-  Buy the property and live in it while you save for or plan renovations 

-  Renovate immediately and have a stylish, spacious inner-city pad that has more space than the usual unit while still being very low maintenance

-  Buy it and rent it out and get it renovated down the track when you are ready to downsize and move into your low-maintenance home close to medical facilities and all the services you will need

The unit has a body corporate fee of $2800 a year that includes your building insurance and insurance on the shared driveway.
