46 Galloway Road, Karaka, Franklin, Auckland

A picturesque tree-lined sealed driveway with electric gates and video intercom leads off a peaceful private no through road past colourful established gardens to arrive at this outstanding 412 square metre north facing home, excellently positioned in the company of high status neighbours and located on 4.67 gently contoured hectares (11.68 acres) zoned Rural Production. Built in the year 2000 of solid brick with concrete tile roof, this showpiece of generous proportions features a large impressive foyer, formal lounge with gas fire and sliding doors to a covered patio and double doors to adjacent formal dining for intimate occasions. Alongside, spacious open plan glass-walled family living spills outdoors to the wrap around patio and ultra-stylish al fresco entertaining and leisure. Casual dining, also flowing outdoors, adjoins the sleek kitchen with granite benchtops and generous storage including pantry and quality appliances. Floor tiles are attractive and easy care in high traffic areas morphing to new carpet laid in 2022 in the lounges and bedrooms.

Double doors, used liberally throughout this amazing home, open to a large recreation room with built-in storage – an ideal media or rumpus/games room – where more sliding stacker doors open outdoors. Accessed off the hallway, an office with built-in storage offers ideal work-from-home conditions. This sits next to the opulent master bedroom with separate his and hers walk-in wardrobes, fully tiled ensuite with double basin vanity and sliding door access to the outdoor spa. Opposite, a laundry has built-in storage and there’s a toilet alongside. At the home’s opposing end, three bedrooms all feature built-in wardrobes and sliding doors. One bedroom or secondary master has its own ensuite with shower. The other two bedrooms share the spacious family bathroom with bath and shower. There’s a large linen press here and another along the hallway next to a powder room. There are two home entry points from the triple garage which features walk-in storage, under-window workbench and door to the garden.

There’s also a studio (consented as a workshop) here or maybe every teen’s dream or guest accommodation with two large light rooms, one with sliding stacker doors to a patio, a laundry and bathroom and multi-purpose north-facing room with heat pump, numerous windows, stacker sliding doors and built-in bar and island bench. Separate 11.4m x 13.5m barn with power and lighting incorporates six stables. There’s bore water supply plus water tanks, seven paddocks, post and rail fencing and loading ramp for stock. In the garden there are a variety of fruit trees. It’s all here! After many happy years our vendor is ready to down-size offering this outstanding property for its next fortunate owner to enjoy. We encourage your early inspection.
