Downsizing to a more manageable abode is par for the course as part of the retirement journey, but for many, it can be a shock to the system going from the spacious and activity filled, to a cookie cutter unit with little to inspire and no place to potter contentedly. This uniquely designed home provides the opportunity to slow down a little, but still feels overwhelmingly like home.

Its position is one of the more enviable in the neat and well maintained community for over 55′s, tucked away to the rear of the complex in its own little cul de sac- making it feel singular and secluded. That it has its own garage, a mini lawn and delightful gardens at its frontage increases its appeal even more so.

Beyond the veranda entrance and front door is a design that has carefully considered ease of mobility, making the most of its private land space, and ensuring that you are well removed from any hustle and bustle.

The central hub of the home is the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge space, where a part dividing wall creates a nifty servery and bar between the food preparation area and the remainder of the space.

Early toned thick pile carpet underfoot provides a cosy feel, combining with the reverse cycle air conditioning unit successful tackles all of the sporadic weather seasons that Albany throws at you. The drapes which frame the large windows and set of double sliding doors on adjacent sides of the space add a splash of the highbrow, with regal striped pattern combining rich green and gold accents.

The kitchen has undergone a recent refurbishment, with a stainless steel adding a sense of vogue via the gas cooktop and cabinetry handles. There is also a wall mounted oven and grill, a double panty, plenty of cupboard space and more than enough room to move.

From here, the home gets interesting in design- with multiple outdoor access doors to provide a great connection between the indoor and outdoor living, introducing a series of peaceful nooks and places to laze away an appointment free afternoon.

The first of these little outdoor worlds can be accessed from the lounge- with a small garden courtyard.

From the homes first bedroom, which is accessed by a set of double doors, there is private sliding door access to the second patio, which provides a place to entertain a small gathering.

The homes laundry provides a thoroughfare into the brilliantly designed bathroom, which has a spacious shower on the flat to allow for chair access if required. It is paired with a vanity with stylish stainless steel mixer taps, a luxuriously deep bath, and neutral palate. There is a separate toilet room also in the hallway, as well as double linen storage to the laundry.

Finally, there is the main bedroom, a generous queen size with triple built in robes for convenience.

The nifty little yard offers up just enough space for you to enjoy the garden, with established hedging trees providing seclusion, a nice patch of lawn and little garden rooms to enjoy.

Retirement shouldnt mean sacrificing all of your space and become a sardine- and this little beauty allows you to stretch those legs just the perfect amount!
