Secreted away down its own driveway with electronic gates providing safety & privacy this absolutely gorgeous property is nestled in its own lush oasis.
The traditionally styled family home is surprisingly generous, with an open plan living, dining & kitchen area that flows out in both directions to extensive decking. A wood burner provides a cosy ambience in the winter time & French doors on either side can be flung open to catch the whispering cool breezes of summer. The house is full of character with cedar weather boards, wooden floors, benches & window frames, but also enjoys all the modern conveniences in the kitchen & bathrooms.
The master bedroom is sumptuous enough to have the most luxurious big bed plus a couch in which to lounge at anytime of the day, it has it's own ensuite bathroom & opens out onto the north west facing deck. The other three bedrooms will easily accommodate a family of varying ages or even granny & grandpa or guests. There are two additional bathrooms, an office, separate laundry and enormous family room with it's own private covered deck that offers a cool respite in summer & an all year round entertaining or play area. Being so beautifully tucked into the landscape & surrounded by an array of both native & exotic trees the house enjoys stunning views from almost every room.
The subtropical planting around the in ground swimming pool provides the perfect playground for every family member in those long lazy summer days. The approximately 2 1/2 acres of surrounding bush clad land leads almost to the edge of the Weiti River, where there is a jetty & lovely grassy area from which to launch a kayak or hang a fishing line.
Conveniently located on Whangaparaoa Road only a couple of kilometres up from the ever expanding Silverdale Centre, Transport Hub & Motorway on ramps, the property is handy yet away from it all. Only 5 minutes drive to a choice of schools, shops, cafes, restaurants & Auckland City CBD is only a 35 minute commute away.
