Set in a quiet cul de sac, this white brick family home with black trim built in 2020 presents a striking picture in a popular area. The owners want it sold because they are under contract to purchase their next home.

Open plan living incorporates a kitchen featuring vinyl wood planking, a breakfast bar, induction cooktop and pantry, a dining area and comfortable living opening to a deck to the north. There is a woodburner in the living room and smart ventilation throughout the house.

Five bedrooms cater for a full family and are serviced by two bathrooms with the generous family bathroom including a bath. The master bedroom opens to a private deck, features a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. All other bedrooms have a built-in wardrobe. A thoughtful feature is a large utility area including laundry, linen storage and room for coats and boots.

A double garage is accessed beyond the utility area and is complemented by plenty of off-street parking. There is a very tidy container for storage with two roller doors, and additional sheds for wood, garden gear, plants and potting. Landscaping includes a lawn for family activities, productive vegetable gardens, an area for composting, boosting nature, and an Alpine sauna set in a sea of succulents, ideal for soothing body and soul at the end of the day.

An easy walk to sportsgrounds, school, cafés, bars and a supermarket, this is an ideal growing family home in an attractive corner of New Zealand's sunniest region.
