79 Steel Road, Ararimu, Franklin, Auckland

Featuring a Macrocarpa exterior this cabin-style home was originally constructed in the 1990's, and remodelled in 2013 transforming it into the sophisticated, comfortable residence it is today. Located on just over 9 hectares of picturesque, gently undulating land, split into eleven paddocks, the family home is complemented by a 78sqm garage with rumpus and office space.

The spacious living area is open plan with a brilliantly equipped kitchen featuring engineered stone benchtops, a five burner gas hob, double sink, glass splash backs, soft close drawers, double dish drawers, double oven, a large pantry and a practical, easy care floor. Perfectly positioned for entertaining, this air-conditioned hub of the home, adjoins indoor dining area which spills out to outdoor leisure. The family living room is ultra-stylish with a recessed wood burning fire and a huge picture window offering magnificent elevated views over the property. Two sets of doors here open out to a picturesque north-facing open air deck and covered entertaining under a dramatic large arched roof. Four bedrooms, all with chic colour schemes, include the master with built-in robes, a glamorous fully tiled ensuite with underfloor heating and double shower. Double doors here spill outdoors. The remaining three bedrooms with built-in robes also open outdoors to the surrounding gardens. These are serviced by a floor to ceiling tiled family bathroom with underfloor heating, a bath and a large tile and glass shower. There's also a separate powder room and a laundry with storage.

Outdoors a super-sized free-standing garage offers generous multi-use living space to incorporate a workshop, a rumpus room or extra accommodation, an office, separate storage area or a gym room. A farm building offers still more space to utilise as required. With numerous delightful barbeque and entertaining areas, easy-care gardens, stock yards, a storage shed, landscaped ponds, water tanks and so much more - this property is excellently endowed and there's still plenty of space for more!
