BALANCE

Hidden at the end of a small grove and perched on it's own peninsula enjoying panoramic views of the valley, this 5 bedroom brick home offers the perfect balance of privacy, views, space, versatility, technology, entertaining, and warmth. The many features include separate granny flat/office, movie room, and chef designed kitchen.

· Privacy - Tired of having neighbours looking in your windows, but don't want to be surrounded by trees blocking your sun? This home is built on one of the rare sections in Riverstone Terraces offering elevation and wide vistas while maintaining your distance from neighbours offering the perfect balance of isolation and connectedness.

· Views- Ever dreamed of living at the top of the hill with panoramic views over the valley below or the distant mountains capped with snow in the wintertime? Don't miss the windows of opportunity that this home offers. By day or night, whether entertaining or just having a night in, the views will work their wonder as the perfect mood enhancer.

· Chef's kitchen - Designed by a chef with all the top fittings, providing functionality, ease, and well positioned for entertaining guests and taking in the breathtaking views (For more detailed specifications, see below).

· Space - Need space for a teenage family, extended family, or when visitors call to stay? Teenagers and friends need car space and their own space, this home with the large section, 3 bathrooms, and multiple living spaces will ease that congestion and give you space when you need it but still allow you to keep tabs on what's happening.

· Versatility - Do you need an extra space that's still part of the house for a home office, home stay, or Granny flat for family? Dedicated area on the other side of the large double garage, visitors are far enough away from household activities but don't need to go outside to come into the main living areas. There is also plenty of space in the attic accessible by pull down stairs in the garage.

· Technology - 12 x 100mbs cat 5e outlets, 2 in movie room, 1 in lounge, 1 in master bedroom, 2 in guest room, 6 in office/bedroom. Guardian 8d/lite 8 zone alarm, and smoke detector.

· Wired movie room - Dedicated movie room with distribution of tv signals to lounge, master bedroom, and guest room. 7:1 home theatre wall plate with 5 speaker surround sound.

· Room for vehicles - Large double garage, and plenty of room for off street parking, or possibly putting in more garaging.

· Warmth - Fijitsu twin zone inverter heat/cool for movie room, lounge/dining areas, with through flow bypass actuators controlling feed into master and three bedrooms. Insulation, solar tubes, double-glazing, tinted windows, infinity hot water, all add to the comfort of a well thought out power minimization and heat retention system.

RIVERSTONE TERRACES UPPER HUTT

Discover Upper Hutts best kept secret today. Developed 8 years ago, Riverstone Terraces now has more established areas with many informal friendly neighbourhood networks developing all the time. Just a short drive from the Upper Hutt CBD and a short hop to Lower Hutt, residents are traditionally a mix of people coming from Upper Hutt, overseas, or cities around New Zealand. More recently interest has been coming from the wider Wellington region where buyers are discovering the exceptional value for money that Riverstone provides. When talking to residents you find a similar theme of pride in the area and a sense of being in a special place, some even commenting that they will be there for life!

UPPER HUTT CITY "NOTHING HIGHER NOR MORE BEAUTIFUL"

Upper Hutt is a city of 36,660 just 25 minutes' drive or a 40-minute scenic train ride north from Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. The city derives its name from an English Member of Parliament, Sir William Hutt, who was a director of the New Zealand Company (formed in the late 1830s) that organised the settlement of the Wellington and Hutt Valley areas beginning with the arrival of the first immigrant ships from1840.
The southern boundary is Silverstream and the northern boundary the top of the Rimutaka Hill, covering an area of 53,962 hectares and making Upper Hutt the
second-largest city council by area in New Zealand.
Nestled by the Hutt River - unique in the world for its pristine condition and trout fishing grounds despite flowing through two cities - Upper Hutt is set amongst bush-clad hills with easy access to recreational pursuits ranging from quiet native forest and riverside walks and fishing to hunting, tramping and mountain biking.
It is the home of the internationally recognised Royal Wellington Golf Club at Heretaunga and the Wellington Racing Club at Trentham. The Karapoti mountain-biking event and an annual road cycling race also attract competitors from around the world.The city is renowned for its many parks, recreation areas like the prize-winning Maidstone Max and H2O Xtream and rural attractions which range from both native and exotic birds and animals to public gardens, art and heritage areas.
