2/32 Patons Road, Howick, Manukau City, Auckland

Discreetly tucked at the end of a long driveway, this enchanting bush-flanked property is a tranquil retreat that also benefits from proximity to a range of bustling community amenities.

Offering a sensational indoor/outdoor lifestyle, the renovated north-facing 125 sqm (approx.) home will appeal to a growing family and those who love to entertain all year round.

Ample glazing, skylight, and crisp white walls instill a light and airy ambiance with lofty raked timber ceilings further creating a sense of space. Woodgrain laminate flooring anchors the open-plan dining area - the hub of the household incorporating the newly renovated kitchen. Here a trendy black-on-white motif encompasses handles and tapware detailing contrasting with plentiful cabinetry, subway tiles, and composite stone benchtops. Ranch sliders and French doors enable easy movement outdoors for alfresco socialising and barbecues on a well-screened terrace where a stunning outdoor fireplace is a toasty focal point. A step-down sunken lounge creates a mood of blissful seclusion - warmly carpeted and offering easy connection also to the large deck and an elevated lawn bound by ferns and agaves. Heat pumps ensure a cosy winter atmosphere and in summer the ceiling fan wafts effortlessly above living areas for a cooling influence. Usefully configured bedrooms include a master with a brand-new ensuite and walk-in closet while the new main bathroom with a freestanding tub is similarly bedecked in the prevailing monochromatic scheme.

The separate laundry boasts more subway tile application and has a door to the deck while along with a wide freestanding carport, there's space for multiple vehicles to park safely. The cross-lease title section with half share in 2500 sqm (approx.) has a tool shed and slopes away to culminate as a charming leafy bower amidst the trees.

Public transport is nearby and so are shopping precincts and top schools with Botany Town Centre minutes away by car.
