Modern Rustic Charm

You know the feeling when you chance upon something that's unexpected and incredibly exciting. That's what you experience when you first look at 25 Ashlynne Ave, a lovingly maintained 1950's residence that beckons you with its striking red wine exterior amidst a lush green setting.

For those who treasure the architecture of a bygone era, the expansive 1,012 square metre property offers you and your family an exceptional lifestyle. Add in an quiet neighbourhood close to the heart of Papatoetoe, train station, schools and childcare, and you have an object of desire.

Architecturally, the two-level home was far ahead of its time. Spacious, airy and light, with sweeping windows throughout, it has a contemporary feel while retaining the charming touches of yesteryears.

The versatile layout offers five bedrooms and two living areas which can be easily re-configured to six bedrooms and a lounge, depending on your family's requirements.

Downstairs there is the large formal lounge, served directly from the country kitchen, which comes with modern appliances as well as tongue and groove timber flooring.

There are three bedrooms on this level, one of which opens out to the second deck out back and further on to the secluded backyard. Sheltered by luxuriant native fauna, this is the ideal place for family gatherings and alfresco dining under the shade of vines.

A graceful spiral staircase takes you upstairs where you have two spacious bedrooms, including the massive master bedroom which opens out via ranchsliders to the balcony.

A double garage and plenty of off-street space are your parking options. Of course, there's a lot more and only a private viewing would do justice to this superb residence.
