Slow down and simplify

Take it easy and step into a more relaxed way of life with this beautifully maintained three bedroom lock and leave home perfectly positioned an easy walk to the village.

Those looking to downsize, investors and retirees will all appreciate the thoughtfully laid out safe and secure single level residence and its easy-care section.

Built in 1998 and one of just four boutique townhouses, it boasts a sunny open plan kitchen, dining and living zone with ceiling fan for cool summers, and ranch slider out to the private courtyard for peaceful cups of tea in the fabulous Hawke's Bay weather.

The large sun filled kitchen sports a ceramic hob, dishwasher, wall oven and plenty of storage that makes cooking a breeze. With three bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower and separate powder room, there is plenty of room for visiting guests and perhaps even an office, and the master is well set up with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with both shower and bath for that evening soak.

The gardens are small and low maintenance, so you can spend your weekends enjoying everything this gorgeous region has to offer - stroll to the village for brunch, catch a movie, load up on fresh produce and talk a walk up Te Mata Peak, it's all here for the taking.

A double integral garage with laundry ensures all the boxes have been ticked. This charming home has only had one owner and is ready for its next custodian to move right in and relish.
