ANGLED TO ENJOY – UNIQUE AL FRESCO ENTERTAINER

ALL BUYERS SHOULD BE AWARE THE HOUSE HAS HAD WATER LEAKS BEFORE VIEWING

Refreshingly different and architecturally positioned this 248 square metre (approx) solid cement rendered plaster over hardiebacker board home built in 2002 resides on 1.26 hectares (3.1 acres) is slightly elevated with recreation venues to the front taking full advantage of a sunny northerly orientation and distant glimpses of the Taihiki River/Manukau Harbour. A driveway through post and rail fenced landscaped gardens with mature trees and expanses of lawn skirts a large pond,- home to myriad birdlife,- and past the home’s point of entry to arrive at the double lock up garage with marine carpet flooring which sits to the rear of this residence and opens into the wide hallway where two sets of double doors spill out to the courtyard. Beautifully presented and maintained, this is a home of unusual finesse however in the spirit of full disclosure the potential purchaser should be aware that there has been some water penetration. Some repairs have been made and this will be reflected in the price of the home.

Off the front courtyard, the hallway leads to light-filled open plan family living and the superbly equipped gourmet kitchen with Bosch gas hob and oven presiding over sophisticated dining with heat pump and wood fire extends outward through double doors to the garden and pond. The living room is the perfect example of indoor-outdoor living, seamlessly flowing through bi-fold doors that open to the front and both sides. On the opposing side of the courtyard, a separate lounge with a wood-burning fireplace also opens to the patio space through bi-fold doors, creating a perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature. There are three bedrooms in this exciting home, the sumptuous master boasting heat pump, north-facing bi-fold doors opening to the patio, walk-in robe and chic ensuite. Two further spacious bedrooms feature large built-in wardrobes and share a large family bathroom with both bath and shower. There’s also a laundry with rear garden access and expansive storage, augmented by more generous shelved storage off the hallway.

Outside, there are two large sheds joined into one. The first measures 12m x 12m (approx) and features a bathroom, wet bar, and mezzanine. The second shed is 11.2m x 9.0m (approx) in size a total of 244 square meters (approx). Super-space for so many uses. There’s also a garden shed, post and rail fencing and plenty of extra parking.
