25 Somerton Drive, Huntington, Hamilton, Waikato

A versatile layout, practical magic, stylish looks and great location make this home an awesome family nest. It speaks of ease and convenient living, is highly appealing to entertainers and equally matches practicalities with panache.

Built in 2006, the well-maintained home boasts refreshed interiors and intimate connections with outdoor living. Solid and honest, the home looks a picture from the street thanks to its modern architecture, cavity clad construction, Linea weatherboard highlights and trim landscaping.

Step inside and soak up the spacious 242sqm interior. A 2.7m ceiling stud heightens the ambience of the living areas. Remodelled two years ago, the showpiece kitchen seduces with its dark handsome looks and ceramic porcelain tops. Dual under-bench side-by-side ovens, a gas hob and a servery window out to the alfresco equip it for effortless entertaining and busy family life.

Dining and living areas flow seamlessly and the crafted outdoor niches are natural extensions of the interior. Summer days and evenings will be spent relaxing and socialising in the sheltered alfresco. A pizza oven, an outdoor sink and outdoor heaters raise the bar on entertaining.

Bedrooms are all decent doubles, and the master has the works - an ensuite, a walk-in wardrobe and outdoor access. A spa bath adds an element of luxury to the main bathroom and four heat pumps provide year-round comfort. An office, a double garage and a private guest wing with a lounge, bedroom and toilet round off the flexible floorplan, which caters for large or extended family, and home-based workers.

The 649sqm section has off-street parking and the gardens on an irrigation system. Rototuna Primary and Rototuna retail precincts are walking distance. Te Manatu Park is a pleasant amble and Parkwood shops, Chartwell shopping centre, Horsham Village, Mangaiti Park Recreation Reserve and the expressway are nearby. A family is also in the right spot for all levels of top schooling
