Sophisticated Tamahere Lifestyle
Stunning is the word that came to our mind when we viewed this immaculate and supersized residence located in one of Tamahere’s most sought after neighbourhoods. Secluded from the crowds and traffic in rural Birchwood yet walking distance to the Village, local school, cafes and country market, the five bedroom home is set against a beautifully landscaped backdrop that is sheer alfresco heaven. Meticulously crafted down to the last detail, and brimming with space, style and luxury, this is where you will find fulfilment on many levels.
According to real estate salesperson Kristen Gould, very rarely does real estate in tightly held Birchwood offer such picture-perfect properties. ‘‘Beautifully designed, this contemporary home is ideal for large or extended families seeking a relaxed and entertainment-focussed lifestyle,’’ she says.
For our owners Stacey and Sally, the friendly and close knit neighbourhood is everything they had hoped for in this prestigious location. ‘‘It was all about location and size,’’ they explain. ‘‘We have the best of both worlds. Our home has easy access to numerous amenities and at the same time it is tucked away in a secluded rural environment that offers privacy and a great outlook. Plus, the property is secure for pets and children. It’s a no brainer.’’
Accessed via a tree lined driveway that is illuminated for the evenings, the 5333 square metre section, with its lush treed lawns, has the feel of a resort. As soon as the front door swings open, you are greeted by superior workmanship and light-filled spaces at every turn.
Covering a vast 348 square metres of floor space, the home has a bespoke ambience but with an endearing quality so you immediately feel at ease.
Reflecting the home’s upscale ambience, the expansive living areas not only bring the peacefulness of nature indoors, but also offer seamless access to multiple alfresco spaces, including a portico accessed from both lounges, a deck, sunken firepit and a poolside entertainment area. The galley-style kitchen (with a wet scullery) is wellpositioned so the chef is able to engage with family and guests while preparing meals. The builders really covered all the bases when it came to creating an effortlessly liveable environment.
The sleeping accommodation is designed so each bedroom has its own restful outlook. The five bedrooms are serviced by two ensuites and a stylish family bathroom, with all bathrooms having underfloor heating.
Your parking options include a triple internal access garage and off-street space for several more vehicles. Plus, there’s abundant storage space.
Stacey and Sally had intended this to be their forever home, but are now moving to the Bay of Plenty for work related reasons. ‘‘We definitely wouldn’t be selling unless we had to,’’ they say. ‘‘We were super excited at the prospect of building a pool house which would just top this property off.’’
However, their decision opens up an opportunity for another family to acquire this outstanding property – so close to civilisation yet a world away from it.
