A 12-minute walk through the 'green-ways' will have you where most of the cafés and restaurants are located, or you may decide to stay in and dine while enjoying the fully equipped kitchen this modern 3 bedroom home offers. The open plan living opens to a lovely sunny deck where you will enjoy those summer night, and during the winter months the heat from the log fire creates that cosy feel and you can sit back and admire the view of the snow covered mountains.
