Overview

This inviting retirement home is nestled within the Lifestyle Communities Village in St Leonards, offering a blend of generous indoor space and beautifully established, private gardens. Positioned on one of the largest blocks in the village and with only one neighbouring property to the west, the home enjoys excellent natural light and an enhanced sense of space and privacy.

The open-plan living and dining area is tailored for comfortable living and casual entertaining, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor environments with large windows and sliding doors. The modern kitchen stands out with a spacious island bench, abundant storage including a walk-in pantry, and ample workspace—ideal for practical meal preparation.

The accommodation comprises two bedrooms plus a separate study. The main bedroom is particularly well-appointed with a walk-in robe and direct access to the spacious bathroom, while the second bedroom is located at the opposite end of the house, allowing for guest privacy or quiet family space. The additional study provides flexible use, whether for a home office, hobbies, or extra storage.

Where this property truly distinguishes itself is in its outdoor areas. The gardens, thoughtfully landscaped and extending around three sides of the home, feature easy-care raised garden beds, paved areas, and an installed watering system, offering a serene and private setting for relaxation. The bamboo-lined fencing creates a leafy retreat, further enhancing privacy and security—also making it suitable for small pets with measures to prevent digging underneath fencing.

Parking is a significant advantage in this home. Unlike the standard carports in the village, this property benefits from a fully enclosed garage with a roller door and secure sliding glass doors, upgraded by the current owners. This offers added security, storage, and protection from the elements, alongside an installed 6kW photovoltaic system and car charger, underscoring a practical and sustainable approach to living.

Additional conveniences include a separate laundry, plantation shutters, ceiling fans throughout the bedrooms and study, and a well-considered floorplan designed for low-maintenance lifestyle living. This residence balances space, privacy, and practicality in a sought-after village environment close to St Leonards’ town centre, foreshore, and amenities.
