This private, two-bedroom home in the heart of Kopeopeo is perfect for retirees, empty nesters and investors.

After 14 years, the owner is moving onto the next stage of her retirement, opening the door for another active, green-fingered person to enjoy the backyard paradise she has created.

Pottering in the garden has been one of her great joys over the years and the attractive garden beds and specimen trees are testament to her hours of hard work. They make for a lovely outlook when relaxing on the north-facing deck.

This unit, built in the 1990s, sits on a back section well away from the road. It’s a safe, secure and quiet place to live with most of the neighours being long-time residents and either retired or semi-retired.

They enjoy the location’s easy access to amenities such as supermarket, doctors and pharmacies, and it’s only a short stroll to the Warren Cole walkway and The Hub shopping centre.

If you’re a single parent or small family looking for a home, there are also schools and pre-schools within easy walking distance.This stand-alone unit with an internal-access single garage has been well-maintained and upgraded over the years.

It’s blend of comfort, convenience and
character make it an ideal choice for a range of buyers, including those looking for a home to which they can add value.

The owner has recently renovated the bathroom, which is a highlight of the home – beautifully tiled and styled while remaining practical with its walk-in shower and wide doorway allowing for wheelchair access.

One of the two large bedrooms is also freshly painted and new owners could easily continue this neutral colour theme into the neighbouring bedroom.

The living-dining areas, along with the master bedroom, are on the northern facing overlooking the garden.

The lounge can be closed off if desired or opened up for a more open plan feel. There’s a cosy deck off the dining room, which is perfect for your morning coffee and breakfast over summer.

The kitchen is original but has been updated over the years. It is a good size with plenty of cupboards, a breakfast bar and large pantry.
There is plenty of hallway storage and the master bedroom has large wardrobe space and a semi-en suite.

With a northerly aspect, this unit enjoys all-day sun so stays naturally warm in winter. In fact, it is so cosy there is often no need to turn on the heat pump, which keeps the electricity bill low.
