Multi levels make the mos tof this lofty site, says Bobbie Nicholls

-

Architectu­rally designed to suit a specific need, this house on several levels has lots of unique features which will appeal to people who are not looking for a basic box, but want privacy, uniqueness and an amazing view. In the 1990s, Parkview Avenue was a prime new subdivisio­n and some of the houses are distinctiv­e in their style, non-more-so that this well presented four bedroom beauty. The site is steep, but the house and landscapin­g are designed to make transiting from one level to the next simply accomplish­ed and to make the best use of the views and the sunlight. Level access takes you from the road to the double access garages and front door with room for parking a trailer and recycling bins at the side of the house, out of the way of the entry by foot or vehicles. Terraced walkways at the rear of the house meander through bush and fernery areas to sunny berry, fruit and vegetable beds on the lowest level sheltered from wind. A new oven, splash-back and range hood have been recently fitted in the kitchen which has landscape window from which to view neighbouri­ng farmland, Feilding and the ranges. Cream laminate benches are combined with natural wooden joinery. The dining area also has great views and access to a partially covered wrap-around terrace from which to sit and enjoy the birds in the bush, or for alfresco entertaini­ng.

The lounge features a lofty chapel ceiling and is heated by one of the three gas heaters in the house. There is also infinity gas hot water and a central vacuum system. All designed for convenient living.

Also on the entrance level are two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The front bedroom is very sunny with a private street view and the other has an independen­t entry, and could be used for a business run from home, or as a guest lounge in conjunctio­n with the adjacent bedroom and bathroom.

The master bedroom is upstairs and has an ensuite and walk in wardrobe. On this level is another double bedroom with magnificen­t views and a glorious central skylight admits natural light to both the landing and the entry on the ground floor. On all levels, storage utilises any available space.

But wait – there’s more. Leaving the laundry door onto an east facing terrace, a walkway leads under the house to a basement room which makes a useful art studio or teen hangout. Teamed with a well-equipped workshop in the road-level double garage, which also looks over neighbouri­ng farmland, any hobbyist would have plenty of room for working and displaying their crafts.

This property is not for public viewing so if you are intrigued because it ticks your boxes for a uniqueness and privacy with a gardener’s grounds and a great view, phone Tania Osborne at Watson Real Estate, Feilding 323 8601 or 021 036 1346 and arrange to see more.
