Effortless modern living in a peaceful location

Immaculately presented and designed with easy modern living in mind, this desirable residence was built in 2012 by renowned Design Builders to an exceptional standard, earning a Registered Master Builders 2014 House of the Year East Coast Silver Award for excellence in workmanship, creativity, and innovation. Double-glazed and carefully positioned to capture all-day sun, it's warm and inviting, while the private setting in an established cul-de-sac offers security and peace of mind.

The carefully curated design boasts high stud ceilings and oversized glazing to enhance the sense of space and fill the room with natural light, while recessed windows create a refined 'shadow box' effect that adds depth, character, and improved energy efficiency.

Step inside to a stylish open-plan layout where the kitchen, dining, and living area flows seamlessly across polished concrete floors and through four sets of sliding doors to the outdoor courtyard areas, perfect for entertaining. The smart, modern kitchen features sleek marble benchtops, an island bench, quality appliances, and ample storage. Two convenient in-floor power points are in the living area, and there are two heat pumps for year-round comfort.

The private primary suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and a smart ensuite, and opens directly to a sheltered courtyard - a tranquil space that's ideal for a spa pool. Two additional double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes offer ample space for family and guests, while the main bathroom is well-appointed with a shower and a spa bath.

A wonderful spot for dining and relaxing, the sun-trapped courtyard is beautifully landscaped with manicured hedging and feature lighting, further enhanced by a summer sunshade, outdoor speakers, and a convenient outdoor hot point for heaters or additional entertaining needs. An automated irrigation system services the gardens and berm lawn, while the fully fenced section includes a low-maintenance vegetable garden, productive citrus, and two garden sheds. An outside connection to the hot water system is ideal for washing pets.

Practical additions include extra-wide doorways for wheelchair accessibility, an additional heat pump in the bedroom wing, an integrated sound system, and a hard-wired security and fire alarm system. The spacious carpeted double garage includes a laundry area and a purpose-built ceiling storage area accessed via a drop-down ladder. A new hot water cylinder, a water filter system, and ample off-street parking adds to the convenient living on offer.

Desirably positioned within walking distance to the village centre, a welcoming cafe, handy convenience store, and the Karamu reserve walkway are all only steps away, while Guthrie Park is just over the road. Ready to move into and enjoy, this superb home delivers award-winning quality, comfort, privacy, and modern style in a highly sought-after location.
