PEACEFUL PRIVATE HOME - NUMEROUS SUNLIT LIVING AREAS

A shared driveway splits to access the concealed magical tree-lined entry to this secluded dual level 300 square metre (approx) home set amongst established native trees, home to an abundance of beautiful birdlife. There’s an instant feeling of being at one with nature here. Set on 4.55 hectares (11.37 acres) zoned Rural Production and constructed of Cedar cladding with colour steel roof and a predominance of double glazed joinery, this expansive super-spacious home was originally built in 1990 and modernised over recent years including a new Colour Steel roof (2014), double glazing (2017), Velux skylight (2019), and spring water pump (2020). Driveway drainage was improved in (2017), and kitchen appliances have been modernised.

The covered porch offers entry to the home with floor-tiled foyer with underfloor heating, exposed timber beams and timber feature ceiling. Levels, timber feature ceilings and a plethora of windows are features throughout, providing interest and flooding the home with sunlight and views over the treetops to the rolling countryside. Family living includes the large carpeted lounge with resin chandelier, library and study nooks, wood fire with stone surrounds, a sun room for lazy hours with a good book and a sleek kitchen with black granite bench tops, breakfast bar, filtered water, double oven, large fridge recess and a servery window out to the glass-fenced deck.

Steps from this outstanding leisure and entertaining venue lead down to the garden. A cosy sitting room adjoins formal dining with feature lighting, doors to the front porch and double doors to the office. Off the hallway four bedrooms include the luxurious large master with double built-in wardrobe, sliding door to the deck and floor heated, fully tiled ensuite with shower and double vanity. Two of the three further bedrooms flow outside, and all have built-in wardrobes and plantation shutters. They share a family bathroom with both bath and shower, under-floor heating and double vanity. There’s also a laundry with storage and access to a drying patio, a linen press and two powder rooms. A large room with timber flooring and sliding doors occupies the lower level of this home along with a room, a bathroom and storage area.

Outdoors there’s a two room ply lined shed with power and lighting - currently used as a gym and storage room, a covered spa area and a double carport. There’s also a garden shed, cattle yards and a large concrete parking area. So much to discover on this seemingly never-ending property! Excellently located in a serene rural Ararimu community with easy motorway access at Bombay and close to Pukekohe township, this expansive property awaits your early inspection.
