Oozing French country charm and tucked in behind an impressive dry stone wall, this very spacious, carefully maintained and stylish family home was thoughtfully designed by Paterson Cullen and Irwin. Built by a builder for his own family, you will enjoy all the extra detailing and the traditional features he has incorporated and which take this home well out of the ordinary.

A welcoming entry with overheight doors leads you to the very convivial open plan kitchen well equipped with mostly European appliances, dining and family room linked by beautiful polished wooden floors. An intimate formal living room made cosy by a gas fire provides the flexibility of a separate space for family and guests. A guest powder room completes this level.

Access through full height sliders to a portico offering all year entertaining. Enjoy the fully fenced easy care garden with its veggie garden and variety of fruit trees - plums, guavas, feijoas, persimmons and lemons for your gin.

4 spacious bedrooms are on the upper level. The master has a walk-in wardrobe and an appealing large en suite. The family bathroom is also large and features a claw foot bath. In addition, another shower room for those hectic family mornings.

The home offers a separate laundry, huge double internal access garage, generous workshop space and masses of storage throughout. Excellent location close to the activity of the waterfront, a short drive to St Heliers boutique shopping, library and cafes as well as an easy stroll to your choice of neighbourhood cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy a wine and a meal with friends. It is also a speedy commute to the CBD.

Zoned for sought after schools of Kohimarama, Glendowie, Baradene and St Ignatius. Freehold title; 264m2 floor area. Cavity plaster with adobe finish; builders report available. This home has everything families are searching for - and more. It is truly a home which will grow with your family and is essential viewing.
