45 Kendall Road, Kerikeri, Far North

A Kendall classic

A wonderfully individual home, standing out from the pack with its classic architecture and elegant interiors. Constructed during a time when buildings oozed character, this four-bedroom home in a coveted 'golden triangle' location, is no exception. Sitting proudly on a flat 2,292sqm site, the property welcomes visitors with its bold gabled roof lines and a stunning Wisteria vine showcasing vibrant colour in spring. Adding to this first impression are picturesque gardens, boxed hedges, expansive lawns and mature trees.

Step inside to indulge in a tastefully renovated footprint, including the kitchen, bathroom and ensuite. Crisp off-white tiles and plush new carpet evoke feelings of space and light. The heartbeat of the home is a contemporary kitchen. People gravitate to this space because it plays centre stage to an open plan living area, perfect for relaxing and chatting to the cook. It also links to a gorgeous courtyard - private and sheltered for year-round entertaining. On the second level are the master bedroom with ensuite and three guest rooms.

Attention to detail and bespoke features around the home give it a unique and inviting feel. Stained-glass windows bounce colour and light around the home, and exposed timber beams allow good air flow and charm. Home comforts have been a priority, with four heat pumps and an open fireplace in the second lounge. A traditional barn with mezzanine storage will delight the tinkering folk, and the above-ground swimming pool will keep kids amused for hours.

Our vendors love the layout of the home, especially the second utility/kitchen room - fantastic for parties. What will they miss most? The large office and thriving veggie gardens, but most of all Kerikeri's warm hospitality, excellent schooling and being able to walk to everything.

A home of distinction - cloaked in warmth, style and generosity. Fill it with family and friends, just in time for summer. For the full information pack, call David today.
