4/194 Waimairi Road, Ilam, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Is this the best Over 60's unit currently for sale in Christchurch? Come, view and decide for yourself.

Location is so important as we get older. Everyone wants to 'age in place' in the community but some properties are future-proofed for that more than others.

This two-bedroom over-60s unit in Ilam gets a big tick on that score, with all the amenities you need right on your doorstep. The modern, well-presented home is across the road from the Waimairi shops and pharmacy, there's a medical centre just down the road and it's close to a supermarket, garage, parks and transport links.

Close but not too close - the home is set well back from the road, meaning quiet and secure living with no traffic noise. A security system and sensor lighting add to the peace of mind, as does a fully fenced yard and internal access via the garage.

Inside, the home's open-plan layout and a kitchen bristling with the best of appliances (including new dish drawer, wastemaster and fridge) will make day-to-day living as well as entertaining a breeze. Excellent indoor/outdoor flow means you and your guests can spill out to the generous-sized private and sunny courtyard. There's even a view of the 5ha Ray Blank Park, with its walkways, sports fields and children's play area.

Both double bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, and the single bathroom has a separate shower.

Underfloor heating, a new heat pump and double glazing ensure the home stays cosy and comfortable throughout the seasons.

After nearly 20 years of loving life in this pleasant neighbourhood, the current owner is starting a new journey with family and is moving on. If you are over 60, enjoy living in a friendly community where you retain ownership of your own home (any capital gain is yours) then inspection is recommended - this unit is waiting for its next owner to move in and enjoy all it has to offer.
