FUN - FILLED FAMILY RETREAT - $800000

Description

Survey the world for miles around from this substantial home, full of European character, on the hill. From an elevated property at the end of a peaceful cul de sac, majestic views reach over neighbouring homes to the Manukau Harbour and the pony club next door. The street gravitates to your place for all those big, fun get togethers. An entertainer's paradise, the home with "the eyebrow window" boasts an elegant, formal lounge and a cosy family area with a fireplace. A grand foyer welcomes to beautifully crafted interiors with ornate paster ceilings and lavish timber doors. Both areas adjoin a big, practical, modern kitchen that extends to a sheltered barbecue patio against a bush backdrop. In summer, you can relax in a resort-like haven on sundrenched terraces around a solar heated pool. Drinks are served direct to those in the pool from a bar beneath the deck. With spacious self-contained guest accommodation above the garage (tall enough for a boat or caravan), the home is versatile with big rooms and loads of space. It's perfect for extended family, a nanny or even a B&B for income. The property is in a very friendly little community where everyone looks out for one another. With very little through traffic, children can play safely in the street. The best little school in the universe (Laingholm Primary) is just up the road. Owners are off to Oz. FOR DEFINITE SALE!
