187 Limmer Road, Te Kowhai, Waikato

This country home works like a charm for your family. Having been built in the 1920s and evolved through the decades, it has reached its apex in the modern world. Extended, renovated, double-glazed, insulated, repainted, air-conditioned - nothing has been overlooked in transforming the home into a bright, contemporary abode. Indoor-outdoor flow is a hallmark of the renovation, and a big deck and swimming pool have turned the backyard into a relaxing oasis. Whether you're working in the kitchen or dining outdoors, glass balustrades provide a clear line of sight to the pool.

A welcoming retreat, your heavenly haven catches abundant sun and its 3m stud height creates a light, open and inviting ambience. Native timber flooring, exposed ceiling beams, and period detailing enhance appeal and make the home stand out from the crowd. The country-style granite kitchen caters to your inner foodie with its large Vulcan oven and a gas cook-top, big social island, and double butler's sink.

Multiple living spaces provide room for everyone's activities. All bedrooms have built-in storage, and your master suite is full of luxurious features. The family bathroom and ensuite are modern, pristine spaces, and your laundry has been completely rebuilt.

Ducted and zoned heat pump air-con keep the interior ambient all-year round and there's nothing cosier and more comforting than sitting around the living room fire on a winter's day.

A big asset is the substantial 13.9m x 8m shed. Added in November 2016, this modern, versatile building has 3-phase power and will just easily house a car collection as it will serve as a business base.

Kids can free range on the 6184sqm block, pick fruit from the orchard, and live the quintessential Kiwi lifestyle. Well-established veggie gardens allow you to grow your own produce, and the irrigation system saves you precious time watering the gardens.

The convenient country location places you close to Te Kowhai School, the new Four Square, The Base and expressways.
