Property details:
OFFERS ABOVE $1.175 million are invited for a spacious new threebedroom townhouse only a few minutes’ walk from the heart of Island Bay village.
The 165-square metre concrete dwelling, at B6 Erksine/73 Melbourne Rd, combines a low-maintenance, lock-andleave lifestyle with proximity to the south coast for recreation and easy access to the city for work.
It has a STO plaster finish and Endura Colorsteel roof, two bathrooms, an internal-access double-garage, off-street parking and sunny outdoor living.
As well as a large west-facing balcony off the living area, the architecturally designed, three-level townhouse backs on to a communal village green below the historic Erskine chapel that’s being restored as part of the prestigious development.
The living and dining areas are openplan with the superbly appointed kitchen, which stands out for its Fisher & Paykel appliances, stylish finish and extensive storage.
It includes an island with a breakfast bar, underbench oven, a four-burner cooktop, integrated rangehood and integrated double DishDrawer dishwasher.
A complementary and substantial built-in entertainment unit with space for a large TV distinguishes the living area, which has a high vaulted ceiling and lovely views over Island Bay’s hills and walkways.
There’s also a separate toilet on this level while upstairs are two more bathrooms and the bedrooms.
The deluxe main bedroom faces west for late sun, and has a bank of wardrobes and a tiled ensuite with a large shower, vanity and toilet.
Each of the east-facing bedrooms has a double-wardrobe and the main bathroom, a shower, vanity and toilet.
Other features include European hydronic heating, engineered oak flooring, quality carpet, a washing machine and clothes dryer in the garage, and attic storage.
Erskine residents also receive a twoyear membership to on-demand car sharing service Mevo and use of two Mevo car-charging stations on the site.
And because the townhouse is on its own freehold title, it’s not part of a body corporate.
“This is a superior development in an established suburb renowned for its strong community spirit and diverse facilities,” says Nicholas Reeve, of Ray White, who marketing the property with Andrew Brodie.
“This particular townhouse has a prime position, is beautifully finished and offers fantastic space and modern living for families and professionals alike within a developed leafy setting with an historic backdrop.”
