It's perfect timing for those seeking a relaxing start to the summer so get your kids ready for the new school year from this cracker of a family home. Sunny and elevated with a northerly aspect and balcony, you have the perfect vantage point to watch the sun go down before heading out onto your huge private deck to crank up the Weber and crisp up the chicken wings with friends. A large open plan living room with gas fire flows easily to a dining area with cosy window seat and cheerful kitchen with stainless appliances, gas cooking and glass splashback. Fully renovated in 2010, the HRV system upstairs and down provide year round ambient comfort and there's solar-heated hot water to save on power bills. Four double bedrooms are bright and sunny with two spacious bathrooms - one with a bathtub. With a little planning the concept of a granny flat downstairs with separate access could be considered. Fully fenced established gardens and generous lawns cater well for dogs, cats and children with raised beds and established fruiting trees ready and waiting for you to harvest your own produce. A double garage with internal access is boosted by a carport to reverse up the boat or jet ski and there's off street parking for extra vehicles. In zone for Otumoetai Primary, Intermediate and College, parks, boardwalks and the Cherrywood shops are nearby, and a regular bus service runs into the CBD.
