Looking for a modern townhouse not too far from town?

There’s one on the market built by well-known contractor “Kitty” Pearman roughly ten years ago.

Unit 3 of the Palm Gardens development in Devonshire is being offered by Kitson Real Estate for $765,000.

The two-bedroom home sits at 112A North Shore Road, only a short commute into Hamilton.

“This delightful modern property is a spacious two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom open-plan living, kitchen and dining room townhouse end unit,” said realtor Stephen Dean. “It comes with plenty of storage, including under-stair storage and a basement storage unit. This is a high quality “Kitty” Pearman-built property, with nice finishing touches.

“Both bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms and tray ceilings.

“The balcony with French doors off the master bedroom has partial views of the North Shore.

“French doors lead from the living room to a bricked patio in the backyard.”

There’s a laundry room with a side-by-side washer and dryer; the master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub, a separate shower enclosure and a walk-in closet. The home’s highlights include ceiling fans and split-system central air throughout, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and tile throughout with wood laminate in the bedrooms.

“This is a leasehold property with a 999-year lease when new,” said Mr Dean. “The property is approximately ten years old. It’s not a condominium, so there are no condominium fees.

“The owner would own 34 per cent of the company and thus is responsible for the same amount on yearly expenses, ie, insurance, exterior painting, etc.

“Any maintenance deemed necessary, such as exterior painting, is done on a vote with the other two units after collecting three quotes, the majority wins. Units are responsible for their own garden area.”
