Superb Home in Top Neighbourhood

Located in a prestigious neighbourhood in coveted Pillans Point School zone and offering generous alfresco areas in a sunny garden setting, this 220sqm (approx.) family home has a bright future. Scope exists to stamp your taste on an already spruced interior and even to explore the feasibility of adding a second storey for a water view as others in the street have done. This is a comfortable and enduring home dating back to 1968 with an enhancement in the early 2000's to enlarge and modernize. Parents with young ones would certainly be attracted to the layout and child-friendly garden and this is also a wonderful option if you're retiring from rural and still want to mooch in a lush well-established garden.

Living is essentially all on one level with the huge internally accessed double garage a few steps down from the main floor. All spaces are illuminated by LED lighting and the large lounge is kept warm with a Rinnai gas fire and heat transfer system. Easy flow through sliders lead to a covered east facing deck - the prime spot to start the day with hot coffee and a croissant. A spacious and workable kitchen although old-school features plenty of cabinetry and enjoys a pleasant garden outlook to keep an eye on the kids. Three double bedrooms are more than adequately served by the two big modern bathrooms one at each end of the hallway. The master bedroom has a pretty bay window and basks in afternoon sun. Storage galore includes a drop-down loft ladder to attic space above the garage and workshop shelving and cupboards alongside the integrated laundry.

Two sheds will easily stow the tools and garden implements and the harvest from citrus trees and raised vegetable and herb beds will be a welcome sight for the table. A fully fenced back yard has extra parking and at the front, rose gardens are putting on a vibrant show. Close to the Atrium cafe, Grange Rd shops, and golf course with the Mountview Reserve and Waikareao walkways nearby.
