27 Searle Drive, Patumahoe, Franklin, Auckland

This four bedroom two bathroom family home is tucked away in one of the most popular streets in Patumahoe.

With high stud ceilings throughout, this property feels even more spacious and has a wonderful floor plan with four generous bedrooms. The master bedroom is serviced by a walk in robe and ensuite bathroom (with a walk in shower) and the ranch sliders lead directly out onto private side garden with portico living space.

For those large families where an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge it's not enough, there is a separate formal living space which can be closed off with doors to accommodate a work from home space or rumpus room for the younger family members. The living area also accommodates a study nook-perfect for those who want to work from home and still been part of a busy family environment.

The spacious kitchen is brightly lit with three sets of windows and a spacious butler's pantry that can be easily closed off.

There are 2 sets of opening doors from the open plan living; 1 set opens seamlessly onto a northern deck with louvred roof and is surrounded by lush tropical plantings, the other doors open onto a southern portico roof area that leads down to the lawn and garden shed. The owners of the property have transformed the space off of the back of the garage into a veggie patch for those enthusiastic green thumb buyers.

After having had a number of years to establish, the professionally landscaped gardens now provide privacy and shade. There is even a little corner that would be the perfect spot for a spa pool-perfect for those winter nights with a cheeky beverage and time out to enjoy the view of the stars.

The driveway can accommodate upwards of 6 vehicles or any of your summer recreational toys and drive straight into the double internal garage with insulated garage door which all leads into the house via a designated laundry room with ample storage.

The owners have enjoyed this home immensely and the journey of transformation from when they originally bought it to what it is today, but, it's now time to down size and hand the batten over to new deserving owners who will love it as much as they have.

To buy a new build and establish what they have managed to achieve with this property with will take some time, so if you like what you see, come and check it out, it really is better in person!
