Buy Now, Move In at 55
Wouldn't it be great to plan ahead for a comfortable downsizer that won't cost a fortune, won't be in the middle of hundreds of apartments, yet is still so close to everything the Inner North has to offer? Better still, you don't have to wait until you're over 55 to secure it.
The Crown lease places no age restriction on ownership, with the over-55 requirement applying to those who reside in the property. This offers an unusual opportunity to buy your future downsizer ahead of time, with the potential to lease the property until you're ready and eligible to make it home.
Imagine living in a boutique complex of only 7 villas. A white picket fence sets the scene, with a bullnose verandah celebrating the glorious north orientation. You also have the benefit of only one shared wall, which is the garage wall. Quiet and peaceful indeed.
This single level two bedroom villa has been renovated in 2013/2014, with ample opportunity for you to put your own mark and personalisations into the home once you move in. Renovated kitchen, bathroom and laundry plus solar means most of the more costly work has already taken place.
The open plan living will be appreciated from the moment you visit. The vista from the large front room is a beautiful garden, and the kitchen has the benefit of the back courtyard with vegetable gardens and space for outdoor furniture.
The welcoming house-size proportions of 98m2 are similar to the 1960s three bedroom govies sprinkled throughout the Inner North. There is enough space here for comfy lounges, a table or study nook and the delight of feeling both private and open to nature and light. The kitchen has been modified with the island bench accommodating a lower benchtop for working when sitting, and there is certainly enough space to also have a 6 seater dining room table, ideal for both family and friends when they visit.
The floorplan is perfect with the two bedrooms separate, with their own built-in robes and large windows. The bathroom renovation will appeal to wide array of buyers, with so much storage and space on offer. Add in a 6kW solar into the mix, and you have your future home ready and waiting for you. The access to the garage is via the laundry room (not just a European Laundry), where a rear door provides ready access the courtyard and vegetable gardens. All rooms are light and bright with outlooks and access to the delightful front and back courtyards.
How many boxes have we ticked already?
The sense of community with the villa owners offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, positioned perfectly across from the greenfields of Alan Ray Oval, and walking distance to Ainslie Football Club. Strolling through Wakefield Gardens allows a step back in time on your way to the bustling Ainslie shops, which has so much to offer. The award-winning IGA, Edgars Pub and Pilot Restaurant are just a few options not far from your new home. If you're feeling more ambitious and energetic, the nearby bush trails of Mt Ainslie beckon. You are also but a short distance from so many restaurants and bars of the Dickson and Braddon precincts.
This is a lifestyle location, and the charm of this unique property must be inspected to be fully appreciated.
