Three bedroom stand-alone villa 22

There aren't that many three bedroom villas in the wider Wellington retirement villages - and even fewer are stand-alone. So if you're looking for something special, and don't want to downsize too much this could be the perfect villa for you.

Freshly renovated, this villa at Whitby Lakes Retirement Village is positioned to make the most of the sun - with morning sun in a private courtyard at the rear of the village, moving through to the kitchen and dining area, and then into the spacious lounge.

There are three private outdoor spaces: The rear courtyard which would appeal to someone that wants to nurture a private garden space; The covered courtyard off the master bedroom; and the sunny courtyard off the dining room, with privacy screening lends itself to potted plants and outdoor furniture.

Inside, the lounge is very spacious - connecting well to the dream kitchen which features stone benchtops, an induction hob and storage galore.

The oversized main bedroom would suit a king bed if you couldn't do without one - and connects through sliding doors to the covered courtyard. There is plenty of wardrobe space with an easy connection to the equally spacious dual entry bathroom complete with underfloor heating. The other two bedrooms are also generous in size, with great wardrobes, large windows and skylights that let in plenty of light.

Located on Newhaven Way, its just a few steps across the driveway to access the Lifestyle Centre where all the facilities are on offer - heated swimming pool, spa, gym, library, cafe, pool table, jigsaws galore, BBQ courtyard and more......There is a great activities schedule you can join in with if you wish. And the village has a prime location - with a secret entrance to the Whitby Shopping Centre next door including a pharmacy, medical centre, cafes and restaurants and the New World. The Bowling Club is a short walk over the road, the Tennis Club is on the boundary, and the village is perched on the edge of the lake - connecting to the inter-connecting walkways around Whitby.

If your budget stretches to $1.3 million, then you should come and see this - all beautifully staged with furniture so you can easily imagine yourself living here. Drop in any day from 10am to 3pm, or call Vicki to make an appointment. Read less
