For position, potential and possibilities you simply can't go past Pohutukawa Park.
The name on the plaster wall at the entrance tempts you down a pittosporum hugged drive. It opens up to 4665m2 of flat land with hedges protecting the perimeter. Pass Pohutukawas before palms draw you to a dwelling well camouflaged with sub tropical greenery. A flat field of lawn is lined by towering Totara shelter. It is so peaceful you won't believe that the new Bethlehem Town Centre is right behind you. But you'll find the supermarket very handy when guests arrive unexpectedly and settle in on your huge covered deck, nursing drinks you've passed out, and determinedly awaiting dinner to appear from the barbeque or big new stove. It's that sort of home - quirky, relaxed and welcoming, hard to leave.
The dwelling is, in fact, a very efficient addition to 252m2 of amazing shed space that spreads out beside and behind it. And it may well be this rare advantage that appeals. Imagine having space to work on those vintage cars you collect. Think of the advantages of bringing your business home, finally having the warehouse space for your stock. See more of the family when you only have to pop through the door to work. This space has been used by an importer and is ideal for a business requiring perhaps a daily visit from a courier truck.
You'll grow to love the funky nature of the three bedroom home's 153m2 interior. Things may not be quite where you expect them but soon you'll never want it any other way. Take the big conservatory bathroom where sun pours into your fully tiled shower and you can step straight outside. Palm bordered boardwalk extends past your huge master bedroom to the main entertaining area which merges with open plan living via commercially proportioned sliders. An experienced chef has recently updated the kitchen. Living becomes more intimate where the ceiling lowers, allowing space for a second mezzanine lounge right above. The hall is put to good use with an office alcove and there's heaps of storage. "Bullet proof" dark commercial carpet has been laid. Kitchen and bathroom are tiled.
So you now have a huge shed/warehouse, a fun and functional home...and a great big flat lawn to mow. You could put in a pool or tennis court, or just console yourself you are mowing your future. While the district plan allows for subdivision to city sizes you may decide that a property of this caliber deserves fewer and larger. Especially if you grow to love your special place in Pohutukawa Park too much to want to share it!
Whether you enjoy its rewards now or in the future, this multi faceted property in central Bethlehem is an opportunity not to be missed.
