As part of Verve Alamanda, a small exclusive neighbourhood reserved for over-55s, this modern abode comes with access to Club Alamanda’s swimming pool, tennis courts, gym, cafe and other relaxation spaces. It’s the type of community especially set up for empty-nesters who want a vibrant, independent lifestyle, shared with like-minded people, in an en enclave that comes with security cameras, limited through-traffic and exclusive use of a barbecue/vegie garden area as a meeting/gathering point.
The meticulously presented house has wide-format textured laminate floorboards that begin in the wide entry hall and flow through to the living hub at the back. Along this hallway are ranged a sparkling bathroom, separate toilet and three bedrooms, including the main which has plantation shutters, a big walk-in wardrobe with tiled floor, and an en suite with dual vanity basins.
Abutting a tiled meals area, a dedicated study nook and a sitting area with a Masport gas log fire, the kitchen has a clever pantry/preparation zone tucked away to hide any clutter. Other goodies are composite stone benches, soft-close drawers, mocha-toned glass splashback, a square island bar and dishwasher, pyrolytic wall oven and 700mm gas cooktop with the Technika label.
Out back, a pergola above concrete takes in views of a compact backyard where the fence is screened in bamboo and synthetic lawn eliminates tedious upkeep. Australian native trees will eventually screen the fenceline and big planter boxes deliver vegies and herbs aplenty.
Alamanda is an optic-fibre estate and this house comes with network cabling/smart wiring to four points. LED lights, split-system, ducted heating, alarm, 3kW solar system and a double garage with customised back roller door – wide enough for a wheelbarrow and the like – are other keynotes.
Life in your own home, with none of the constraints and all the benefits of a retirement village, is looking good for the new owner.
