Inviting Home in Garden Paradise

Come home to your own private paradise when you live in a charming contemporary character home above grounds that sweep down to willow fringed ponds.

It is pretty special to be able to enjoy your own 5709sqm in this pleasant semi rural neighbourhood where most homes, while benefiting from the country atmosphere, have much smaller sites. The beautiful block is well laid out. Gardens around the home merge with shrubs on the slope which drops gently to a large expanse of lawn just requiring mowing. You can keep it relatively low maintenance and park like or let your inner gardener run wild. Post and rail fence lines the roadside with a second gate onto the land. A garden shed and fenced utility area nestles discreetly behind the home accessed by a path from the double garage.

The grounds are a perfect foil for the Mediterranean inspired home, perched on the sunny rise at the rear of the property. It is a design delight with a bit of intrigue and rich in texture and tone. The entrance foyer opens to a spaciously inviting open plan living space with lofty ceilings and high windows admitting extra light and creating visual interest. Earthy colours enhance an atmosphere which is both welcoming and intimate. It is a clever room where the kitchen occupies an airy alcove to the rear with a granite topped island facing the dining area. Then beside the dining area a bay space with French doors creates a casual zone separate from the main lounge at the end of the room. Rich timber floors of the kitchen and dining meet warm carpet in the living area. Shelving and insets give you scope for display and furniture placement. French doors off the living end open to a trellis surrounded paved patio. The paving extends to the exterior door of the master bedroom at the end of the home.

More French doors link a timber floored hall running behind the living room to three bedrooms, an office (which opens outside) and the two bathrooms. The master suite places you privately at the back of the home with a gorgeous view across the garden and French doors so you can step outside into it. Heat pumps in the living area and two of the bedrooms ensure your year round comfort.

In summer with all the doors open this home will feel at one with its garden. It is spring now and the daffodils are starting to bloom, and buds appearing everywhere. Several pukeko are having a happy peck on the lawn by the ponds which attract plenty of birdlife depending on the season.

This is a wonderful opportunity to live in a particularly appealing home on well over an acre within Rowesdale's quiet semi rural neighbourhood, relishing your rare and tranquil haven just a short distance from the central city.
