When too big becomes demanding and too small begins to suffocate - lifestyle is the one true goal that brings country back to reality.\nCrossing through Tauriko into this hidden pocket, you're in for a nice surprise. It's just around the corner from everywhere; a charming property that savours a front row seat to a rural landscape. From the privacy of this rural haven, you'll follow the sun all day - greeting morning with coffee, toasting sunset with cocktails - and all within a short commute to Tauriko School and shopping at The Crossing; \nCharacter and charm work their wonders well here - thanks to a major revamp and taste for style. Renovation lifts contemporary comfort while staying true to this home's heart. A new wing provides cherished privacy and bathroom luxury for the master suite, while its French door connection with a big sun deck frames the hills and highlights the outdoor space this home relishes. The family hub exploits outdoor life as well. It's the heart of the home, with a designer kitchen cooks will enjoy - subtle woodgrain keeping the country thread, granite benches adding a classy finish and stainless appliances including a double fridge/freezer. Serving dining and sofas with ease, it's an inviting place to entertain - perfect for barbeques outside on the deck or dress-circle patio beyond. When it's cold, dinner banter by the warmth of a log-fire will take evenings into the small hours. With two more bedrooms, main bathroom, other important touches include a separate laundry - complete with shower after a day outdoors; an office for the paperwork; plus an adjoining den, another room for a variety of moods. Bloke heaven happens in the garage - workbench and storage for the tools and toys; and yet another room to choose for yourself - from workshop to bedsit. Grounds cater for everyone - a gorgeous grove hugging the driveway is the welcome mat for what's to come. A playground lawn basks in the sun and gives gardeners more to play with, while the paddocks offer grazing for a sheep or three. Fully reticulated, this property fits that model lifestyle to a 'T' - not too big; not too small. Just right. \n
