6 reasons why the Stradbroke villa could be ideal for you

If you’re thinking about moving into a retirement village and a simpler, more fulfilling lifestyle, you might also be considering downsizing from a larger family home.

The downsizing process can be made much simpler when you have a good idea of the type of home that’s just perfect for your retirement. While it’s good to have a smaller, more manageable home, you’ll also want to have the space to live and enjoy your retirement. 

This combination of stylish, open and airy living space along with plenty of storage has made the Stradbroke villa design one of Renaissance’s most popular. 

Let’s explore the features that make the Stradbroke villa a sought-after option for couples looking to move into a new phase of their retirement lives together. 

Thinking of downsizing your home?

1) Two good sized bedrooms 

Let’s start with the heart of the home – the bedroom. The Stradbroke villa features two good sized bedrooms, each large enough to comfortably fit a Queen size bed with plenty of space besides. 

It lets you maintain two separate bedrooms if you desire, or to keep one space ready for when friends or family come to stay with you in your home.

2) Two bathrooms 

It’s no fun having to fight over one bathroom when you have good friends or family over to stay with you in your villa! 

The Stradbroke is fully kitted out with 2 bathrooms; the main bathroom that’s ideal for everyday use or for visitors, and the ensuite to the master bedroom for your daily convenience.

3) A large study room 

Located just off the Stradbroke’s dining room is a large study room. It’s perfect for use as a TV room, media room, craft or hobby room, reading room, or even as an extra bedroom for when visitors come and stay with you. 

4) An abundance of storage 

Even though you may have downsized from the family home, you’ll no doubt still have plenty of keepsakes, books, mementoes, hobby gear, and the like. That’s why it’s important to look for retirement living with plenty of storage. 

The Stradbroke features a separate entry storage cupboard, a linen cupboard, and even more storage in the laundry. The master bedroom features not only a walk-in robe but a built in robe as well. It all adds up to a home with plenty of space for you to neatly store what’s important to you.

5) Open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area

There’s nothing worse than having dear friends over for dinner – and then being cut off from them and isolated in the kitchen while you prepare the meal!

The Stradbroke avoids this issue with its open plan living arrangement, that lets you remain part of the conversation and the party while you’re preparing food for your guests as they relax and enjoy the vibe in the open plan lounge.

6) A spacious, light and airy feel

The Stradbroke’s 9ft ceilings give it an open, welcoming and spacious ambience. The high ceilings ensure plenty of natural light and fresh air can enter the villa, helping to make your home for retirement much more appealing.

It’s also easier to cool a home with high ceilings, which means they’re more energy-efficient too. The full ducted air conditioning system means you’ll be comfortable in your retirement, keeping you warm and toasty in winter and cool and refreshed in the summer months. 

As well as these practical benefits, we think that high ceilings in your home are simply more elegant and interesting than a home with lower headroom!
