37 Shirley Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

This wonderful lifestyle property has it all! Stream, meadows, contemporary home with expansive decks, water gardens, birdsong, sunshine and shelter... all nestled in 2.5 hectares of delicious privacy. Tucked away in a peaceful location the attractive tree-lined entrance leads you down a meandering driveway past pretty water lily ponds, reminiscent of an Impressionist painting, to a striking, one level, substantial home positioned to capture all day sun and bordered by an esplanade reserve and the Waipapa stream. The living is light-filled and spacious featuring a high stud, well designed open plan kitchen/dining, two comfortable lounge areas with gas fire and log burner and easy indoor/outdoor flow onto expansive decks bathed in sunshine. You have four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, (one with a bath), roomy double garage and separate laundry. Children will love being able to romp in the fresh outdoors, jump on a trampoline, dabble their toes in the stream, set-up a flying fox and leap into the swimming hole with shrieks of delight. This lifestyle property offers you and your family lots of options; further landscaping potential, space for a pony or farm pets, chickens, bee keeping, growing grapes or swinging a golf club. Conveniently located just minutes to nearby Waipapa and not far from the vibrant Kerikeri township with its schools, shops, cafes, art galleries, Proctor Library, Farmers Market, Turner Centre and Bay of Islands airport, this property will tick off all your boxes.
