A true country feel
This lifestyle property is well laid out, with a large classic homestead positioned towards the front of the 8000sqm block and a spacious lawn area at the rear.
Highly suited to an outdoor lifestyle, the grassed expanse provides a big play area for children, a venue for garden parties, and/or scope for a small chip and putt family golf pastime.
Low maintenance shrubs and trees border the trim-kept grounds.
Enhanced by 250sqm of wrap-around verandah, the homestead has a true country feel and allows outdoor living most of the year.
Interiors sit under high-stud ceilings and embrace two living areas, including a big open-plan kitchen, dining and family lounge.
Generous glazing throughout floods the home with light and creates a warm affinity with the gardens and grounds.
There are plenty of opportunities to step outdoors, relax on the verandah or entertain in the courtyard setting. The many external doors also provide great ventilation over summer.
Heat pumps, a wood burner with a heattransfer unit, and some double glazing boost comfort levels.
Accommodation comprises four large bedrooms, including a master with an ensuite and outdoor connection. Both bathrooms are tiled.
The home comes to market as a very tidy package, with the bonuses of quality soft furnishings, impressive four-car garaging, and stand-alone sheds.
The concrete driveway and parking bays provide ample space for vehicles and hard surfaces for ball games, scooters and skateboards.
The property is designed to absorb the demands of busy family life, whether that life is played indoors or out. It lies in zone for Hillcrest schools, close to Tamahere village amenities and primary school, and moments from State Highway 1. Hillcrest shops are handy.
Rosebanks Drive eases off Woodcock Road, at the end of which are the Allen Turner Walkway and suspension bridge linking Tamahere with Matangi. The walk/ cycle way and reserve are popular with locals.
