Remember when houses were built to last?

Located within walking distance of the Richmond shopping centre, the flat 600 square metre property is sunny, sheltered and safe for children and animals, with fully enclosed rear lawns and easy-care gardens. \n\nThis extremely comfortable 121 square metre, single level home fits the bill. Built in the mid-1970s, its split-stone exterior walls, aluminium joinery and terracotta decramastic tiled roof require little, if any maintenance. \n\nIt includes a spacious living room with floor-to-ceiling glazed sliding doors and windows accessing a concrete terrace with views to the Richmond ranges, an open-plan dining area and kitchen, three double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a dual access bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. The master bedroom opens to a wooden deck and a second pergola-framed deck nearby provides a choice of outdoor dining areas. \n\nThe house was renovated and redecorated in 2009. It included a new kitchen with plenty of bench tops, cupboards and drawers, a pantry and a Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. The new dual access bathroom includes a full-length bath, shower and white lacquered vanity. New charcoal carpet was fitted in the living room, hallway and bedrooms and the rimu floor in the dining area and kitchen was re-polished. In addition to a thermostatically controlled heater in the hallway, there is a new Fujitsu Inverter heat pump in the living room. \n\nLocated at the end of the driveway - the perfect Man Cave - a double garage workshop with electric power, windows, a concrete floor and solid workbenches extending along two walls. \n\n
