This property encourages a return to the traditional Kiwi way of life. Kids can play safely in the quiet cul-de-sac, socialise with friendly neighbours, mess about in the sunny back yard or huge rumpus - and even walk to school. The brick home sits on a large 759sqm section with a big backyard. Interiors encompass a convivial living area that spills onto a large sun-drenched timber deck. A conservatory provides a warm all-weather retreat off the lounge. Three generously sized upstairs bedrooms include a roomy master retreat with an ensuite and excellent storage. A spa bath adds a touch of luxury to the family bathroom and the office could be used as a fourth/fifth bedroom. The basement contains a double garage with work space or even room for a third vehicle, a laundry, and a big games room served by a third toilet. This rumpus is ideal for kids' sleep-overs, extended family accommodation or overnight guests. There is ample storage throughout, with a combination of heatpump and gas heating. An alfresco area under a pergola provides a picturesque setting for outdoor entertaining, heightened by sound and light to give your party an extra boost. Contained gardens are designed for easy care and ready for a personal touch. The home lies near the end of the peaceful, friendly cul-de-sac inhabited by elderly couples and young families that collectively give a perfect social balance. Forest Lake Primary, Jamieson Kindergarten, Waterworld and Waikato Farmers' Market at Te Rapa Racecourse are strolling distance. The Base and the CBD are also close by.
