If the next generation have flown the nest, or are sticking around past the normal fledgling time, it might be time for you 2 still young lovebirds to think about yourselves after years of tending to the brood. You really don’t need that big house that could sleep half the class when the kids were younger. Time spent cleaning and maintaining it is time you could be out flittering around and enjoying yourselves. Maybe you have put many years into creating that big, beautiful garden? But how much time do you spend keeping it that way? Can’t you think of more enjoyable things to do together, like a walk in the rainforest? Or taking off on a trip into the wide blue yonder?

“Eaglebrook” was created for people who have reached the age of 50, just like you. It is a very well planned gated community ideally positioned behind Gallery Walk in Eagle Heights. It offers a variety of housing styles that include both duplex living and free standing houses such as the property currently on offer here. Each residence has its own small area of land that can be fenced off for private usage and for your dog (or cat) if you have a dear friend you would like to bring with you. There is sufficient land allocated with each residence to allow for both a picturesque ornamental garden and for a good sized vegetable patch plus a few fruit trees.

This immaculate, single level brick and tile home is everything any couple (or single) could want. It is spacious, light and friendly with easy care surfaces and security screening. The free flowing floor plan allows the living room air conditioner to cool the whole house and the 3rd bedroom can be a home office or an elegant formal dining. Both bathrooms are very roomy, allowing for the time when someone might need that extra space for wheelchair access. Owners can get permission to customise their homes here and this one has been customised to perfection. The original tiled and roofed over rear patio has been extended out with a matching roof extension and then glassed-in with insect screens included. This is now a perfect additional living space for year round usage and has the added pleasure of looking out into the Heavenly back garden.

Some people are gardeners, some aren’t! The couple who are currently living in this home are true gardeners! They have done some superb landscaping here and created a most picturesque setting around their home with beautiful pathways, lovely little patches of lawn, perennials like roses, camellias a and proteas plus perfectly delineated borders with patches of gravel. As you look through the photos you will see exactly what I mean. They even have a nicely obscured garden shed for their tools. A fair bit of time, money and effort has gone into this garden, but now that has all been done, it is just so easy to maintain. There are lovely quiet and private sitting areas at various spots in the garden including a concreted area near the laundry door where a table and a couple of chairs beckon you to rest and enjoy your habitat or have lunch in the fresh open air.
