Resort Style Living in Hillcrest

Forget booking that summer holiday this year- because its going to be hot at home in this beautiful Balinese resort-style wonderland. You'd never guess from the road, but behind the gate, this magical inside out retreat is cleverly designed for relaxing and entertaining around a sparkling pool in lush well-established tropical gardens. The large, richly coloured, open-plan living space with a log fire merges superbly with the outdoors through a light-filled, central atrium and expansive sheltered, sunny terraces where you can live comfortably all year round. Bi-fold windows pull wide across the kitchen bench so you can serve directly to guests having fun dining at the outdoor table. It's so private, even when you're lying in bed at night in the master bedroom, you can leave the bi-fold doors open to the garden, just as you do in Bali. If it rains, there are plenty of undercover options outside including a gorgeous Polynesian fale beside the pool. The property is sensational for entertaining, but it's great for a family too with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite and walk-through dressing room off the master bedroom. An automatic garage door opens to a carport for two cars and the section is fully fenced making this very private fantasy world as practical as it is fabulous. The current owners have loved living here for the past 12 years and it is filled with many happy treasured family memories. \nHandy to motorway access, transport, beaches and good schools.\nLive the dream holiday forever - don't miss the boat!\nOwners have purchased. \nCV $580,000\n \n\nAuction: 11th October 2012 (unless sold prior)\n12 Noon \nBayleys North Shore Auction Rooms\n28 Northcroft St\nTakapuna\n
