Nestled into a quiet cul-de-sac of the Riverstone Park subdivision, 14 Orakei Place boasts an elevated position amongst other substantial lifestyle properties.
Built in 2014 in congruence with architect Joel Surridge and builder Chris Drummond of Mode Building Solutions, this beautifully designed and crafted contemporary home is sure to impress. As you step inside the front door you are greeted by a cedar slatted wall and the grand scale of the 2.7M stud which hint of the quality to follow.
Designed with family in mind, this 287m2 home features generous living spaces including the media room, loft and open plan living/ kitchen/ dining which flow effortlessly through bi-fold doors to the garden setting. The loggia further extends the living spaces and affords sophisticated entertaining -simply pass the drinks and nibbles through the kitchen bi-folds at the end of the day and enjoy the city lights. Sleek lines define the kitchen style with oodles of storage and the large kitchen island makes for a great spot for the kids to perch and do their homework. There are four double bedrooms, each with a double wardrobe and lovely views. The master bedroom has an impressive ensuite with double walk in shower.
Highly spec'd for comfortable living throughout all four seasons, the home features double glazing, four heat pumps plus central cassette heat pump in the open plan living space. The Smartvent system ensures that the home stays warm and dry all year round. Extensive wall and roof insulation plus sound batting facilitates modern living. 14 Orakei Place has been future proofed in terms of IT needs with fibre optic connection, extensive cabling throughout.
The established 4107m2 section provides plenty of room for the kids play. In fact the gentle contour towards the rear of the home presents the ultimate 'slip and slide' set up. A buried irrigation system keeps the lawn maintenance to a minimum. The fruit trees are establishing and will likely have their first crop of fruit next year.
The over-sized double garage has a walk-through boot room. Off-street parking is afforded by the wide driveway and space to the side of the home allows for trailor/ boat parking.
