ID#495383 - Glenholme, Rotorua

Nestled discreetly within an idyllic garden setting this property has shades of Auckland's upmarket neighbourhood of Remuera about it. There is complete privacy here. It's not simply the fact the house hides down a long drive. It's the gardens. A large site around 1332 square metres of established grounds with the residence positioned amid the leafy tranquillity of established trees.

The house was born in the 50s - an era acknowledged for its refined lifestyle. The house has been lovingly maintained to retain its classical character while also keeping pace with the times. This is particularly evident in the kitchen and bathroom areas. Chic finish in the kitchen follows today's on-trend soft approach, while delicious red accents and polished timber flooring bring warmth and depth. Cooks will love the way the kitchen interacts with its breakfast bar area and the family lounge a couple of steps down. The colourful mood continues in this family lounge, before slipping outside to a charming, cobbled patio.

The mood changes in the adjoining room which is a little more traditional. While the design is open plan, the dining setting sits in a corner of its own - generous space for a large setting. As the room moves to the lounge, it's easy to imagine large family gatherings toasting festive occasions. Colonial joinery and pelmet finish are another tribute to the 50s' character - picture windows and French doors either framing the gardens or opening directly out to them.

Four bedrooms also accentuate the space within this home. The ensuite master sits on the ground floor, which is convenient. It offers single-level living for couples while having three bedrooms and a second bathroom upstairs for family and guests. Another feature is the extra space to work from home.

This is the perfect escape. Seemingly lost in its own world, this Glenholme property is so close to the city and recreation. Near golf, schooling, racecourse, Redwoods and city links; Sophia Street is an address to aspire to.

Born in Wellington I spent a good part of my adult life in Auckland where prior to Real Estate I owned and managed a painting and decorating company specializing in the restoration of old villas and bungalows in most of Aucklands exclusive suburbs.
I am married to Jacqueline who comes from Switzerland. Jacqueline is a Residential Sales Specialist in her own right. We have two young children. I also have a daughter currently living and working in Australia. Prior to settling in the beautiful Lakes District of Rotorua, Jacqueline and I married and lived for almost 3 years in Zurich, Switzerland. We moved to Rotorua in 1995.

People and houses have been the main focus of my previous occupation. Real Estate is all about people and I decided that a career in Real Estate would be a good move. Since then I've never looked back!

In June 2007 I was declared the overall winner 2006-07 for the Regional Real Estate Institute Award for the Waikato/Bay of Plenty and Gisborne District for residential sales with a population 20,001-70,000. The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand Award represents all Real Estate Companies and perhaps proves that bigger is not always better. We are all very hard working and never lose focus of achieving the best result for our homeowners.
