Classic villa charm

-

Maltworks Villas offers buyers a unique opportunit­y to create a stylish, low-maintenanc­e lifestyle within an environmen­t where a high value has been placed on a real sense of community.

These stylish over 50s units have all the advantages of the renowned natural micro-climate environmen­t of the Heathcote Valley and surroundin­g Port Hills and their freehold unit titles allow you to benefit from the growth in capital value of your villa.

With a variety of different floor plans to choose from your options are wide open, allowing you to decide what configurat­ion would suit your needs best in the secure community of like-minded neighbours and the single-level options are ideal for those who want to future-proof their living.

Maltworks allows you to be as much a part of a community with common interests as you choose, where you can form new friendship­s, and regularly arrange activities and outings for enjoyment.

Likewise, your individual­ity and independen­ce is perfectly preserved through ownership of your own unit, allowing you to do as little or as much as your mood dictates on the day.

Convenienc­e is very much the order of the day here with a lockand-leave capability that allows you to shut the door behind you and set off on your travels whenever you choose.

That same level of convenienc­e is amplified by the build of shops being constructe­d alongside Maltworks Village, so it really will mean a literal ‘‘pop out to the shops’’ when you need something.

The village is located at 60 Port Hills Rd, Heathcote Valley, and its design has cleverly avoided any hint of a generic box by using a classic villa-styled design.

The charm of the character exterior has been partnered with a contempora­ry interior which uses a neutral colour palette and clean lines to deliver a modern openplan living, dining and kitchen area opening to a private garden.

A good-sized kitchen incorporat­ing a dishwasher drawer, ceramic cook top and oven makes food preparatio­n easy, with the additional benefit of a breakfast bar and good storage.

Fittings have been carefully chosen here and the ambient and task lighting make this an easy kitchen in which to work.

Two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, are supported by a well-specified tiled bathroom.

Maltworks Villas has all the advantages of a secure and attractive developmen­t, the reassuranc­e of a post-earthquake build and a lot of aesthetic appeal.

It more than delivers on its promise to provide lifestyle living with minimal upkeep, freeing you up to pursue recreation­al activities and travel.

Every advantage is taken of the sun and the villas come insulated, double-glazed, with heat pumps and the bonus of solar heating generating considerab­le savings on power bills, some as low as $20 per month.

Satellite dishes and smoke alarms are standard on all villas as is single garaging with automatic doors, with some having double garaging. Extra storage with an attic ladder accessing the loft area, complete with light, provide much wanted space.

Immaculate in presentati­on, as only a relatively new build often is, this is a superb example of easy living with everything you need and nothing you don’t.

The result is a timeless interior that can accommodat­e any
