SUPERB GARDENS + COPIOUS SHEDDING & OFFICE The use of large windows with bi-fold and sliding doors throughout the expansive lounge, dining room and casual north-facing family living zones saturates this ultra-chic 240 square metre (approx) home with natural light. Immaculately maintained and occupying an elevated position on 3.57 hectares (8.94 acres) of gently contoured land in a highly desirable locale, this property keeps excellent company with high end neighbours and offers serene vistas of adjoining countryside and breathtaking sunsets. This spacious single-level residence is quality constructed with solid brick, a plaster and paint finish, and a concrete tile roof. Ornamental hedging, winter and spring flowering Magnolias, and Maples providing beautiful autumn colour in the flower borders are complemented by Liquidambar and Ginkgo trees, established native plantings including Kauri by the pond, Pohutukawa in the paddock, and tropical planting around the pool. These all form part of the superb, landscaped gardens, which also feature sweeping lawns and an entry driveway lined with an avenue of Awanui flowering cherry trees. The driveway widens to provide extra parking for vehicles of all sizes, including the marine carpeted double lock-up garage with internal home entry. Comfort assured, there’s a ventilation system throughout the home and heating is via a heat pump, gas fire and underfloor heating in most tiled areas.

Adjoining casual dining, the light, bright kitchen features granite benchtops and abundant cabinetry, Bosch double oven, a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar. Clever use of colour here showcases several walls accenting the soaring cathedral ceiling and spilling out to sophisticated covered and open air entertaining on the extensive wrap-around paved patio – the perfect venue to relax, admire the gorgeous gardens and maybe watch the kids playing in the fully fenced 10m x 3.5m (approx) salt chlorinated solar heated pool with leisure surrounds – another lazy day location.
