25 Elmslie Road, Pinehaven, Upper Hutt

Country Retreat, Close to Town

A supremely picturesque and spacious home offers the chance to live amid serene native bush and sunny, private garden just 30 minutes' drive from Wellington.
The home is set well back from the road with majestic trees, including English oaks, maple, kowhai and an Atlantic cedar on one side, and native bush with a large totara, pungas, ferns and stream on the other.
The double-section includes an orchard with apple, pear, feijoa, plum and cherry trees, garage, carport, playhouse, potting shed and a dog run or chook house with plumbed in water.
You will love going to sleep listening to the sound of the babbling brook, morepork and occasionally kiwi, and waking to the sounds of tui, kereru, piwakawaka and bellbirds.
Northwest-facing the home opens off a sunny deck into a tiled entrance stepping up to the open-plan living/dining room and kitchen. The living/dining has original floorboards and a woodburner while the spacious kitchen enjoys garden views.
At the rear of the home there are two double bedrooms that share a walk-through wardrobe. One opens to a back porch overlooking the stream; both have built-in storage. Also in this wing are a bathroom and separate laundry.
Two more double-bedrooms with built-in storage and a bathroom with a claw-foot bath are in the wing leading to the step-down formal lounge, which features a hardwood floor, river stone fireplace with wood-burner, wrap-around glazing and French doors to a patio and the garden.
A fabulous property for families who want to experience country living close to town.
