Grand family home with modern appeal

This 1920s home of distinction is a lovely combination of charming and grand. The large formal dining and elegant wood accents speak to the days when this house presided over the neighbourhood - but picture yourself cosying up to the woodburner in winter, or entertaining guests in the al fresco dining area in summer and you'll find year-round appeal for any modern family.
The large living area has plenty of natural light, and French doors open to the private rear patio. The kitchen is spacious and contemporary, with a peaceful outlook over the sweeping green lawn and established trees. The chef in the family will delight in the gas hob, rangehood and large pantry. The adjoining laundry is well-appointed, with a separate toilet and access to the backyard.
Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom with en suite, ideal for guests or family members who would like a bit more independence. Follow the smooth timber banisters upstairs to find three double bedrooms, a dressing room, and a sunroom which could be used as a fourth bedroom, office, or nursery.
While maintaining the grandeur of the home is important, no effort has been spared to bring it into the 21st century. Fully insulated both ceiling and underfloor, all your creature comforts will be met, with a new Stellar gas quick recovery hot water cylinder, a central vacuum system, and a Fisher & Paykel double dish drawer. New stormwater, wastewater and sewer pipes were laid in 2011.
The gardens are large but low-maintenance and will be the venue for many a backyard sports game. There is room for three cars with a carport and two single garages, and enough outdoor storage for your tools and the kids' bikes.
The vendors have not only lovingly maintained this house, they have spent 17 years improving it. Your family will thank them when you are enjoying everything this home has to offer. Call Kim or Duncan now for your exclusive appointment to view.
