Spacious, vacant & single level – Buyers guide price from $1,200,000

This prestigious, large, 3-bedroom, single level townhouse offering 168m2 of living space is located in the ever popular 'The Sanctuary' complex which adjoins 'Yowani Golf Course'. Positioned on a corner it has windows on three sides & a desirable North aspect plus front & rear courtyards for outdoor entertaining, the perfect, low maintenance, luxurious lifestyle you have been searching for is now available. <br/><br/>The generous open plan layout maximises the usability of this home, not wasting any space with hallways or staircases. The formal living room also opens out to the front courtyard and offers an outlook across a strip of reserve (rather than into another backyard) enhancing the feeling of space around you. In the middle of the home the formal dining area then flows into the family room at the rear & is designed to be segregated with your furniture rather than solid walls. <br/><br/>This is the perfect low maintenance home for the busy professional looking to make use of the nearby city life without worrying too much about maintenance or an older couple looking to downsize from a big home on a big block but not wanting a small unit or townhouse with stairs. The body corporate ensures the grounds are extremely well maintained & the development even includes a playground ideal for the kids or grandkids & a BBQ & picnic area. <br/><br/>This desirable single level floorplan is always in short supply in this development (& the Inner North as a whole) & we believe there will be a strong level of interest at this price bracket, so make an inspection a priority. <br/><br/>Features overview:<br/>Desirable Inner North development adjacent to the Yowani Golf Course <br/>Tightly held, fully single level floorplan offering 171m2 of living area<br/>North aspect to front of home<br/>Only 1 wall is shared with the property next door (open on 3 sides)<br/>None of the bedrooms share any walls with each other for privacy<br/>Significant works conducted by existing owner to modernise and update the property <br/>Upgraded ducted reverse cycle air conditioning unit (heating & cooling)<br/>Maintenance free front & rear courtyards<br/>'Rinnai' gas infinity hot water system<br/>Double lock up garage with remote entry and internal access plus 2 additional allocated carspaces in front<br/>Additional onsite visitor parking in close proximity<br/>Well maintained development with active strata committee<br/>Pets welcome (subject to strata notification)<br/>Vacant possession<br/>Flexible settlement options if you have another property you want, or need, to sell<br/><br/>The Numbers (approx): <br/>Townhouse size: 171m2 <br/>Double garage: 36m2<br/>Age of development: 20 years (built 2002) <br/>General Rates: $1,966 p.a. <br/>Water & sewerage rates: $670p.a. <br/>Land Tax (investors only): $2,334 p.a. <br/>Strata levies: $4,598 p.a. <br/>Rental Potential (unfurnished): $760/wk <br/>Balance of the Admin fund as of 27/10/22: $243,598<br/>Balance of the Sinking fund as of 27/10/22: $766,792<br/>Units Plan number: 1863<br/>Total number of townhouses in development: 185<br/>Strata Manager: Vantage Strata (Abby Vincent) Phone 1800 878 728 <br/>Name of development: Sanctuary<br/>Name of developer/builder: Consolidated Builders<br/>EER: 6 out of 6 stars<br/><br/>Upgrades by existing owner:<br/>In 2012 the following renovations were done.
