515 Ararimu Road, Ramarama, Franklin, Auckland

With a private elevated position and sweeping views, this immaculately presented contemporary family home on approx. 3.5 acres offers all the trimmings of an easy-care country lifestyle so close to the city. Electric gates lead into a generous circular driveway entry framed by mature trees, and enviable north-facing views stretch all the way to the Sky Tower and Waitakere Ranges. Designed for spaciousness and views, the 400m2 4 bedroom brick and tile home with a high stud and wide hallways is full of space for a growing family and guests. The entry foyer leads past an office, powder room and separate lounge into open plan living and dining, which is cleverly partitioned with a half wall. With a layout allowing you to cook while enjoying the views, the kitchen includes granite benchtops, a double oven, and a butler’s pantry. All family living areas boast magnificent views out over the property’s rolling lawn, paddock (with space for a pony), and non-covenanted native bush. Multiple doors open up to the generous patio area - an idyllic setting for relaxing together in the evening looking out to the city lights.

The thoughtfully designed layout with double glazing throughout includes a spacious guest suite at one end of the house, including a kitchenette and large bathroom with spa bath. Two more bedrooms are either side of a large family bathroom, with all three rooms able to be closed off as a separate wing. The master suite is privately positioned at the far end of the house and includes three wardrobes, a huge ensuite, and doors open up to embrace the north-facing views.

This property is all about space and functionality, including 3 car internal access garaging, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and kitchen, and ample space to park a motorhome or boat. A separate 172m2 shed includes a hydraulic vehicle lift, 3 phase power, workbench and separate WC - an impressive space and set-up to work on cars and other projects. With a peaceful and secluded country ambiance and easy proximity to popular schools and the motorway, this is an exclusive opportunity to redefine your family lifestyle just a commute away from Auckland City.
