Looking to the future? Here is a chance for your children to grow up in a substantial family home in the city, romp on the 4076 m2 section, and for the land to be developed when the time feels right. This 480m2 home was built in 1979 as a grand farm house. The farm has now been carved up as the city has expanded but 149 Sylvester Road remains as one of the few remaining lots with potential for development. Suitable for a large family, the home has 6 double bedrooms, a large rumpus room, an office, two internal stairways, a large landing with a sitting area, abundant storage and two big living rooms. There are four bathrooms; one of which has been beautifully renovated and features a free standing bath, a glass and tile shower and underfloor heating. Most rooms in the house have individual thermostats to control the flow of heat. There is also an open fire with an impressive marble fire surround in the formal lounge. Chandeliers adorn the home. Light streams into the living areas and into many of the bedrooms. Entertain friends in the new, north facing outdoor entertaining area, or relax in the shade of the covered deck. The views from this elevated site are stunning and the sunsets spectacular. On a clear day you can see Mount Ruapehu. The Hakarimata Range, Mount Pirongia, and the Kaimai Range provide the regular backdrop. This fully fenced property is located just a short drive from Rototuna Shopping Centre, ten kilometres from the centre of town and has easy access north. This family home has a desirable setting, huge content and enormous potential.
