An Acre Outside Your Window

Charm and grace dress this lovely 1950s two-bedroomed home, on almost a full acre, in desirable Kaukapakapa. Everyone wants a piece of the countryside and the quiet, relaxed lifestyle that comes with it, and this gorgeous wooden-floored, spacious beauty delivers. It was originally a three-bedroomed house, but at some time in its history a previous owner opened up one of the bedrooms to create an additional living area. The oversize windows ensure plenty of natural light and open up the distant hills and nearer rural landscape to your eye. So nice to sit with an evening glass of red and enjoy this peaceful view. Leave the city every night, and sit in gentle retreat while you recharge for the next round. A sun-trapping conservatory off the large, well thought-out kitchen serves for the cooler months and outside, a generous deck makes for great summer outdoor living and entertainment. A firebox keeps winter toes nice and cosy, and insulated walls with double-glazed windows installed in 2010 makes sure the heat stays right where it should - around your shoulders. Outside, a separate double garage with a workshop more than serves the keen DIY chap or hobbyist, and manicured lawns with mature plantings leave plenty of room to make your own landscape statement. The orchard is extraordinarily productive and includes nuts and fruits, all on your own doorstep. The vendors have retired and need to downsize. They've loved living here for the past 16 years, and you'll adore the peace, the privacy, and the natural beauty this gracious home offers. Visit this one - you will be so glad you did.
