All the right ingredients to make a home

Sitting in the heart of MYVISTA Balcatta retirement village, villa 26 offers its next occupier a bright outlook.

The light and airy home boasts a welcoming aura, amplified by a neutral colour scheme and natural lighting that flows freely thanks to the multitude of windows.

Seniors Own Real Estate Village Sales Agent Caryl Sutrisno said the villa’s layout provided separation between the living areas and the bedrooms.

“The third room which can be used as a guest bedroom, a study, a sewing room or a sitting room is at the front of the house, completely separate from the main living areas and bedrooms,” she said. “Double French doors close off the bedrooms and bathroom from the main living areas.”

The centre of the home’s open-plan living hub, the kitchen includes extensive benchtop space, plentiful storage options and modern appliances, including a full-sized dishwasher, to make sure you can spend the majority of your day doing activities you enjoy.

MYVISTA CEO Irene Mooney said the property was fitted with a medical emergency monitoring system, along with other features to allow the occupants to age in place with peace of mind.

“Constructed to comply with the building requirements for seniors, it offers wheelchair-width passageways and doorways, power points are positioned up off the skirting, light switches are large toggle, floor tiles are non-slip rated, there is no hob to step over in the shower and no steps to navigate,” she said.

To ease the mind further, the villa is nestled inside the village’s entrance gates and has a high retaining wall at the rear and side for privacy.

This means you will be able to enjoy the paved alfresco at the rear of the home with two low-maintenance raised garden beds without any unwanted attention.

A large double garage with an automatic opening front door plus a manual roller door at the rear provides space for possessions that don’t belong in the house, as does a freestanding garden shed, making the home an appealing option for downsizers.

Seniors Own Real Estate Managing Director Mike Graebner said the amenity continued in the surrounding village, which he said hosted a relaxed, friendly and multicultural community, with many amenities and the option to enjoy the lifestyle residents wanted.

“The village is relaxed and peaceful, with regular social events at the clubhouse if you wish to join in,” he said. “Or stay active with the pool, park and walking paths nearby. Catch up with your neighbours for a chat, play a game of cards or enjoy morning tea or a barbecue.

“The residents’ clubhouse has a library, games room, lounge, well-equipped kitchen, barbecue facilities and an indoor swimming pool.”

In a convenient location itself, the village is adjacent to parklands, with a public bus route on Wanneroo Road available, and easy access to Reid Highway, Main Street and the freeway.

“The village is very centrally located with access to retail at Northlands Plaza, Stirling Gate and Warwick Shopping Centre, the commercial precinct at Balcatta has cafes, service stations, retail and gyms, the Stirling men’s shed is just around the corner and just 3km away is the Balga Leisurepark,” Ms Sutrisno said.

“Balcatta by road is just 15km to the Perth CBD, 15km to Joondalup city, 9km to Karrinyup Shopping Centre which is currently undergoing a major revamp and 10km to Trigg Point.”
