A Place To Call Home

Designed for relaxed family living, this lifestyler is full of surprises. It lies on the fringe of the city on a 5000m2 block well sited for the sun.

The home favours open concept living, with designated zones for living and dining, and wrap-around decks for an effortless outdoor lifestyle. The open kitchen has plenty of work space, including an island, a new rangehood and direct access to a large sheltered deck for easy entertaining. Family bedrooms are double, opening onto a sunny deck that runs the full length of the home. The master, which is supported by a spacious ensuite with a large shower, open to a secluded deck draped in wisteria. The main bathroom has been remodelled and the office comes with a built-in desk. Heat pumps feature in the living area and master bedroom.

An idyllic arena for family fun and social gatherings, the outdoor entertainment zone impresses with its 15m x 5m depth-graded salt water pool, spa, cascading water feature and summer house complex, with a bathroom; a sleep-out / fourth bedroom, guest quarters or playroom; and a large undercover area. The bathroom has its own water heater.

Garaging is generous and includes a 9m long double garage incorporating a well set-up workshop, adjoined by a double carport. Tucked privately away is a 9m x 7.5m high stud lockable shed, with power, water and own access, making it ideal for a home-based business. There is room for grazing and secure areas for children and pets. A good variety of fruit trees adorn the property. Water is trickle feed town supply.

The property lies at the end of a small, friendly cul-de-sac serviced by school buses to Newstead Primary, Hillcrest schools and St Peter's College. New housing is sprouting in the lane, which is constantly adding value to the area. State Highway 26 is moments away for easy commuting to Waikato University, CBD and coastal destinations.
