9B McCracken Road, Mount Wellington, Auckland

The diverse functionality of this brick and tile home on rear gated section creates a golden opportunity for extended or blended families. Tucked down a right of way at the end of a cul de sac, the 2014 built single level residence in a convenient neighbourhood sits close to landmark nature spaces like Panmure Basin and Maungarei Mt Wellington.

Beautiful wood floors, and a fresh, white, modern interior evoke a sense of space. With plenty of natural light flooding living, ranch sliders stack back to allow for continuous flow outdoors to a substantial north facing wraparound deck. An open plan lounge and dining room are perfect for entertaining and integrate well with the glamorous kitchen where sparkling glass pendants illuminate composite stone worktops and caterer's gas range. An adjacent second family lounge is the perfect bolthole for media viewing, relaxing, and teenage gaming - the latter particularly handy if their accommodation is in this zone. Although six bedrooms in total - divided as four in west wing and two in the east - a study with wardrobe could easily revert to a seventh. Three well-appointed bathrooms (including master ensuite) have tiled flooring, modern fixtures and the largest includes a bathtub. The double-glazed home is fitted with ducted heating, three heat pumps and labour-saving internal vacuum system, while double internal access garage integrates the laundry.

The 548 sqm (approx.) electric gated section with extra parking is fully fenced for peace of mind if you have adventurous kids and pets who roam. Lawns and decks provide enough playspace in easy-care gardens that require relatively little attention. Close proximity to Ellerslie Village and with schools, Sylvia Park, transport hubs and sports facilities on hand, this is the definitive property to raise a family - or two.
