If you would like to retire to a lovely village where the units are nestled within leafy green grounds, and the community offers a warm welcome, where many useful facilities and interesting activities are available if you should happen to want them, then you need to keep reading or maybe just call so we can tell you more and arrange an inspection for you.
This particular unit is on the corner of Francis Street and Mandurang Road. It is a lovely little redbrick place but don’t be fooled by the exterior, it had a major renovation about five years ago and is just gorgeous!
Shall we begin at the front? A timber ramp provides a gentle slope to the door, which is a terrific little feature in and of itself – it has a window panel that you can simply slide
across to let the air in through the built-in security mesh. The floorplan provides privacy as you answer the door, though it opens onto a spacious carpeted living area with a ceiling fan and reverse cycle split system so you can keep it as warm or cool as you like, plus the solar system means you can do that without worrying about the cost.
The dining area openly adjoins the living room and shares the timber look vinyl plank flooring with the pristine white kitchen. Ample storage space is a boon together with the stainless steel appliances including a half size dishwasher to help you to save water, ideal for singles or a couple. The laundry is discretely hidden away at the end of the kitchen and provides easy access to the garden at the back of the unit.
The bedroom is a good size with a ceiling fan of its own, a built-in-robe and an extra closet/linen press. It offers direct access to the bathroom with a loo, walk-in shower and lovely vanity with storage incorporated. The whole unit is clean, modern and very gentle on the eye. It comes with a separate garage which has a lift door off Francis Street for your car and a personal access door at the rear to make it that much more convenient to the unit.
One of the best things about this unit is that it is one of the closest units to the Village Centre and the very short walk is all on flat ground. Once you get to the centre you are going to love the fact that there are visiting health and beauty professionals, movies and a TV, internet access, books, jigsaw, billiards, exercise equipment, a kitchen you are welcome to use (as long as its not happy hour), groups or classes for just about anything you can think of, a wood heater, barbeque area, a golf buggy, a mini bus for regular shopping or special outings, in fact this village has its own Post Office!
While all this is available to you together with a 24 hour monitored buzzer system, its entirely up to you to decide what you would like to enjoy as the focus is on a safe friendly community in a beautiful natural environment to provide peace of mind for families and longer independence for those who choose this lifestyle. Being part of a retirement village means it is exclusively for over 55′s and a separate contract is to be signed with the Village. Those lucky enough to live here love it! Come and see what you think.
