NO EXPENSE SPARED
There’s no question of anybody lacking their own space in this very large and well-appointed executive home, writes LOUISE RICHARDSON.
127 Hingaia Road 5 3 4
With 572sqm of floor space, on a giant 10,340sqm, no expense has been spared in creating this high-quality home, just moments from Karaka Village with its shops and cafes, 35 minutes from central Auckland via the Southern Motorway and only 18 minutes from Auckland Airport.
Built around 2003, the roughcast and tile property offers a host of luxury features including a huge, contemporary entertainer’s kitchen with loads of bench and cupboard space for a keen cook.
Formal dining and lounge – with a gas fire – are combined, and there is a vast amount of living space in the family room.
Two of the five bedrooms (including the magnificent master) have ensuites and as well as a walk-in wardrobe, the latter also has access to its own deck.
The family bathroom is elegant and streamlined and as well as a pleasant home office, there’s also an enormous rumpus room, where children can play or enjoy various media options in comfort.
Overall, the flow between the many rooms in this handsome house is easy and fluid as one segues seamlessly into the next.
Decor throughout the home is light, bright and neutral, allowing a new owner to add touches of their own personality the carpets, window treatments and lighting are all to a very high standard.
Meanwhile, family fun is guaranteed, with a dedicated heated in-ground pool complex complete with all the bells and whistles and there’s plenty of level lawn for children and pets to run and play safely.
The trees and hedges are well-established and the garden in general is very easy care.
The property is zoned for popular Hingaia Peninsula School (decile 10), which is a mere 0.5km away while older children can attend Rosehill College.
Private school ACG Strathallan is only 5 minutes drive away (about 2.5km) which has baby centres, preschool, primary and college up to Year 13.
127 Hingaia is surrounded by other similarly high-end lifestyle properties, with horse studs, dairy and sheep farms in the mix, and although it’s very private, the property is still very much part of the local community, which is friendly and welcoming.
Ally Phillips, from Harcourts Papakura, is marketing this spectacular property along with colleague Maxine Van Den Berg.
“It’s in a class of its own, with the heated pool, central climate control and the barbecue area, plus a glasshouse area where green-fingered owners could grow their own fruit and vegetables.”
She says that an offering of this standard is incredibly rare, and the property is already attracting significant interest from a variety of potential buyers.
“It’s in a class of its own, with the heated pool, central climate control and the barbecue area, plus a glasshouse area where green-fingered owners could grow their own fruit and vegetables.”
Phillips adds that although the current owners haven’t used the glasshouses, their sturdy framing means that they could be put back into use fairly easily. The owners are committed to their future plans and very motivated to sell. Sale: Auction, June 26 Contact: Ally Phillips, Harcourts, 021 103 2389; Maxine Van Den Berg, 027 551 0638
