Effortless elegance in Tamahere
It’s announced at the entrance to this property in sought-after Tamahere: the effortless elegance, the relaxed class and charm. And the hint of France; Provence to be exact.
Behind the secured gateway, a tree-lined loop driveway brings you to the home, where an impressive front elevation hints tantalisingly at the delights within. Here, lifestyle and location combine in the home of more than 350sqm of understated luxury on 1.9ha (more or less) of pastoral perfection, with paddocks supported by a loading race.
The entrance’s large atrium evolves fluidly into the main lounge where friends and family can relax around a blazing open fire. Wooden floors glow with rustic ambience while windows framed with native timbers offer views out to beautifully landscaped lawns and feature gardens.
Family and dining areas stem from a generously dimensioned kitchen, which features premium-brand appliances and a timber-topped island.
Bi-fold doors give access to a private patio. It comes complete with a double-sided alfresco fire and sail cloth for idyllic outdoor dining, enhanced by a hint of lavender carried on the evening breeze from manicured gardens.
Three elegant bathrooms support the five double bedrooms where family and guests alike can find sanctuary. Each of the bedrooms incorporates generous storage; the master bedroom benefitting further from a walk-in robe and an ensuite with Jack and Jill basins.
Automatic door openers ensure easy entry to the internally accessed double garage. A detached batten and board shed, complete with a concrete floor and a mezzanine above, offers a great space for the toys and workshop.
‘‘Drawing on French-inspired design cues executed in durable rib lath cladding, this architectural home offers an incredible opportunity for discerning buyers to establish themselves in a boutique Tamahere lifestyle niche,’’ says marketing agent Angela Finnigan.
‘‘It’s stunningly presented, is zoned for high-decile Berkley Normal School, Hillcrest and Cambridge high schools, and all amenities in Hamilton or Cambridge are close by.’’
