Some 3 1/2 years ago I began life in the Riverbend Lifestyle Village, Ballina as a Display Home. Being a Display Home meant that I came with a number of extras such as the dishwasher, drop-down pendant lights and a ‘waterfall’ bench in the kitchen. My original and current owners have now lived in me for 3 years and have thoroughly enjoyed our time together and the surrounding community atmosphere. I have the added bonus of having no neighbours on my western side which gives me an open outlook and extra space. My unique design is called a ‘mako’ which allows me to enjoy a decent-sized and private rear verandah, a master ensuite and a large walk-in robe. My fenced backyard is ideal for a small dog, and, as well as the lock-up storeroom/workshop I come with a double tandem garage (auto door). I am air-conditioned with ‘zip’ blinds on both the front and back verandahs for added privacy and security. In the last 2 years I have had 2kw solar PV panels added to my roof and now my annual electricity bill is less than $200.I love my village lifestyle with all of the wonderful facilities including the pool, bowling green and gated security. I never have to mow the lawn or take the garbage out. There are no council rates to pay and no stamp duty on my purchase price. Unfortunately, my owners are leaving for family reasons and I am keen to find new owners as soon as possible. I am located at 162/1 Riverbend Drive, Ballina and I will be considering all 'Expressions of Interest' between $460,000 and $480,000. Property Code: 274
