2/208 Middleton Rd, Mira Mar WA 6330, Australia

This beautiful home halfway between town and the beach proves that downsizing to a manageable property in the lead-up to retirement doesn’t mean compromising on living space and convenience.

It’s a stylish freestanding home at the front of an attractive over-55s complex of nine units, with easy access directly from the street, so you’d feel part of the group but enjoy your own space and privacy at the same time.

Of brick and Colorbond construction clad with smart slate blue panels, the home presents a classy picture from the front.

Inside, it stands out from run-of-the-mill units with a well-considered layout and quality appointments, ceramic floor tiles, good carpets, and tasteful décor, all enhanced by light, sunny rooms and immaculate presentation.

The generous open living area at the back comprises the lounge and dining space, where reverse-cycle air conditioning and a gas bayonet for a heater promote year-round comfort.

This is a lovely, inviting room with three full-length windows and glass doors opening onto an undercover, paved patio for summer relaxation.

At one side of the living area is the kitchen. There’s no compromise here, either – it’s a full-sized workspace with attractive cabinetry, a corner pantry, dishwasher and gas cook-top.

The master bedroom, with an en suite bathroom and a wall of built-in robes, is a carpeted, king-sized room at the front of the house.

One of the others is also king sized and the third is a double. These are carpeted as well, and both have built-in robes.

The second bathroom has a bath, shower and vanity and the toilet is separate, off the laundry.

In addition to the double garage, which has internal access, there’s a visitors’ single-bay car park at the side.

A built-in garden shed, a rainwater tank, roof insulation and a porch with security screens are other advantages of this property.

Residents will enjoy shared amenities such as the communal barbecue, and pets may even be permitted with the authority of the council of owners.

The proximity to town, medical facilities, golf, bowls and Middleton Beach enhance this home’s appeal to discerning buyers.
