Auction 11am, Monday 2nd November, on-site (unless sold prior)

Let's be honest. At some point, mowing the lawn every Saturday loses its appeal.

For the solo buyer or semi-retired couple who would rather spend their time travelling, catching up with friends, pottering around town or simply doing absolutely nothing, 7B Fearon Street offers a very easy alternative.

The estate needs the home sold, which means an opportunity has landed for someone looking for a comfortable, sunny and genuinely low-maintenance home in a handy Motueka location.

Tucked privately back from the road, this is a home where you can close the gate and forget about the outside world for a while. The 634sqm freehold section has no lawn to maintain, so there's one less weekend job on the list. It's also close enough to town that popping out for coffee, groceries or lunch doesn't require a strategic plan.

Inside, the north-facing living areas make the most of the sun, with plenty of natural light and an easy connection to the sheltered outdoor area. It's the sort of space that works equally well for a quiet morning coffee or having friends around without turning entertaining into a production.

There's good room to live here too. Three double bedrooms mean you can have a proper guest room, hobby space or office without sacrificing your own space. The main bedroom has an ensuite, while the main bathroom has both a bath and wet-floor shower, with a separate toilet for when visitors are around.

The kitchen is generous and practical, with an island bench, oversized stove, soft-close drawers and pull-out pantry. The double internal-access garage is another big tick, particularly if you've accumulated a few more belongings than you planned on.

Built in 2012, the home is brick and Colorsteel, double glazed with aluminium joinery throughout except for the garage, and has solar hot water. Add the private setting, freehold title and easy-care grounds and there's very little here asking for your attention.

So if your idea of downsizing is having less work, not necessarily less house, take a look.
