There is room on the section for the motorhome, which means the next trip starts from your own driveway rather than a storage yard across town.

That is the thinking behind this home. It is built for the stage of life when the kids have grown and the calendar finally belongs to you: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and nothing that asks more of your weekend than you want to give it.

It faces north and west, so the sun finds the living spaces and stays on into the evening. The gardens are manicured and settled. Inside, everything is immaculate. Lock up for a few weeks and you will come home to exactly what you left: tidy, quiet, and ready.

Kitchen, dining and living share one open space, so the day happens in one place. It works for dinner for two, a slow morning with the paper, or a full table at Christmas. The extra bedrooms are there for visitors, a study, or the hobby that finally gets a room of its own.

Flagstaff is well established and quiet, and Borman Village is just around the corner. Coffee at Archies, an appointment at Tui Medical, the everyday errands: all of it is close to home.

Lock the door. Take the long way. It will be waiting.
