What Awaits Behind the Gate?

You certainly can't judge this substantial home, nestled on its 1131m2 mature section, from the footpath. Your inspection is strongly recommended so you can get a true appreciation of its ageless dignity and beauty.

The original charm of its era has been retained with the warmth of beautiful rimu panelling and flooring alongside up to date facilities throughout. All the conveniences you could dream about with a new family kitchen, well planned laundry with excellent storage, updated bathrooms, ducted heating and double glazing make this a home of character and charm whilst allowing enjoyable modern day living.

The kitchen has been expertly planned for efficiency and easy care with the adjoining family room; the hub of the home. These spaces have provided our current owners with the perfect space for all stages of a growing family and their friends for over two decades. A seamless flow from here to the veranda and sheltered generous courtyard with outdoor fire adds another dimension to the home. Here lies a fabulous opportunity for another family to enjoy all these benefits.

Children can be easily supervised from the kitchen which overlooks both the lawn and paved outdoor area. As in the past, the back garden will be well utilised for cricket, rugby and other outdoor activities. The section contains well established trees including a variety of fruit trees bearing an abundance of fruit. The heated indoor pool extends into this fully fenced garden, providing hours of enjoyment. A double shed, and studio provide additional covered areas.

Inside, living areas cater for all family needs with a restful separate lounge, the ideal spot for parents to relax away from children, while they can occupy their own living area on the upper floor. The spacious family room /dining/ kitchen provides an idyllic communal area for fun and entertainment.

The upper level is dedicated to bedroom accommodation, the main with ensuite and walk in robe/dressing room. A well-appointed family bathroom services the remaining four bedrooms which will all accommodate queen size beds and contain built in robes. This thoughtful configuration of public and private spaces is ideal for a growing family.

This magnificent family home, situated in a very desirable location in close proximity to the City Centre and Merivale Village, is looking for new owners to enjoy, now the current owner's family has grown. The home is close to a selection of Private Schools while being zoned for St Albans Primary and Heaton Intermediate.
