22 Watkins Road, Cambridge, Waipa

Grand design, garden sanctuary

For those seeking solace after a long day, your very own ‘castle on the corner' with landscaped gardens and lush lawns sits behind a solid wall that offers both peace and privacy.

Beautifully designed and built of aerated concrete, this recently refreshed residence exudes style in both presentation and layout. From the industrial pendant lighting to the elegant thermal drapes and sheers, new carpet, heated floors and high stud, this grand home offers more than you could ever envisage from the outside.
Feature lighting leads you along the floating boardwalk to a front entrance that reveals a luxurious living and dining area which enjoys all day sun. When the night's cool, the nearby formal lounge can be closed off for time around the fire with family.

Off the main open-plan living area, throw back large bifold doors to a gorgeous big deck, with an alfresco entertaining space under a glass canopy that begs you to pop a cork and unwind. It's hard not to make fun-filled memories here where play is easy and a pool is possible on the 862sqm (more or less) section, shielded from the outside world by a decibel reducing wall.

The home's enormous kitchen is cool in summer and warm in winter with underfloor heating, and the added bonus of an HRV ducted throughout the entire home. The chef in the family will enjoy cooking with quality F&P appliances, set into a stone bench that seamlessly connects to the main living hub.
All bedrooms except the guest bedroom are down the hallway, with the master, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite tucked privately at the end, with its own deck access and garden views. Superior storage is in every room, including the fifth bedroom or study with its very own built-in office nook and doors that open out to the alfresco entertaining area. Attic stairs in the garage lead to more space for all those suitcases you'd love to use one day!
Morning coffee on the sun-drenched back deck off the kitchen is an absolute pleasure amidst the fruit trees, and carefully planned landscaping that offers up a true oasis of calm. Need parking for the jet ski or boat?
Littlies will also love the local playground just 100m along the road in this friendly community, and if the teenagers are late out of bed Cambridge High is just 1km away. This family sanctuary ticks all the boxes, it won't last!
