39 Solan Drive, Waimauku, Rodney, Auckland

Privacy meets garden tranquillity on this 1129 sq m sanctuary, hidden on the heights of sought-after Solan Drive, Waimauku. You can expect to be captivated on arrival at this 200m2 brick-and-tile residence. As with any meticulous owner, this home has been beautifully maintained to deliver a spacious family environment of comfort and convenience.

The sizable living room affords an airy sense of space; it spills out to a deck and steps down to the newly renovated contemporary kitchen and dining area that extends to the north-western alfresco area. The indoor/outdoor flow is an entertainer's muse; this retreat is an all-seasonal delight with awnings filtering light and sheltering you from the weather.

You'll find four light-infused bedrooms, including the master suite, complete with a walk-in closet and ensuite. Serving family and visitors is a guest powder room and a modern bathroom hosting a bathtub.

The landscaped and carefully established gardens have a therapeutic effect. While teeming with colour, the buzz of bees, deciduous and evergreens, and filled with floral scent, you'll also observe the vivacious birdlife! Tui, Fantail, Wax-eye, and the night's Morepork make routine appearances, among many others. And as much as it is their safe and secure sanctuary, it is yours and the children's too! Pick from an orchard assortment of fruits and veggies, wander the hidden paths, or take a book to the elevated gazebo for calm "me-time". Clever additions include ducted air ventilation, modern security surveillance, ample storage, a double garage with internal access, a garden shed, and loads of off-street parking.

Kids can stroll to Waimauku Primary; you're a mere walk from the village shops and cafes, and Muriwai Beach or Woodhill Forest recreation create wonderful weekends of natural discovery.

On reflection, our vendor has deeply loved many aspects of the home, namely the spaciousness, the privacy, the community spirit, and the pictorial gardens - which are no less than the labour of a garden- enthusiasts love. After 4 years and the decision to downsize, 39 Solan is now available for viewing. Many homebuyers will have long anticipated a luscious haven such as this; now is your moment to act.
