For retirees or those approaching their senior years, security, comfort and convenience rate highly among their priorities.
This lovely brick and tile home in a quiet, well-maintained complex answers all these needs in one attractive package, where everything is designed to promote ease of maintenance and personal wellbeing.
It’s part of the popular Baudin Gardens over-55s units about 1.5km from the CBD and with easy access to all amenities – medical facilities, shops, bowls, golf, beaches and parkland. This unit occupies a strata lot of 202sqm, with easy-care gardens at the front and an area for growing veggies or flowers in the enclosed back yard.
Inside, it’s light and airy, finished with neutral décor and good flooring, and very well presented.
The lounge is a light, airy room with carpet, air conditioning and two windows. This flows through to the generous dining area and the kitchen. Surprisingly spacious, the kitchen has a pantry cupboard, wall oven, gas cooking and plenty of cream-coloured cabinetry.
Complementing the indoor living spaces is an impressive gable-roofed patio at the side. This private area leads through to the back yard, which is mostly in paving for low maintenance. Off the dining area, double doors open onto the second bedroom. Because of its position, this would also make a perfect hobby room.
A hallway leads to the main bedroom, queen-sized with built-in robes and windows on two walls.
Nearby is the bathroom with a walk-in shower and vanity, and the toilet is off the adjoining laundry. Linen and storage cupboards are big enough to keep clutter away.
Back outside, there’s a carport under the main roof with sheltered access to the front door, a handy brick-built storage shed for golf clubs and garden tools, double gates providing secure access for a small vehicle or trailer, and a rainwater tank.
Security screens to windows and doors promote peace of mind for owners, whether at home or away.
