17 Pararekau Road, Karaka, Franklin, Auckland, 2580, New Zealand

This handsome house offers absolute street appeal and is sited on an impressive 3,600 sqm freehold section.

The grand 5-bedroom Italian country villa has beautiful proportions and is enhanced by the central location allowing for further redevelopment of the land with commercial activity if required.

Framed by a tall stone fence with two angelic cherubs protecting the double entry gates, the property unfolds into a wonderland of impeccable garden splendor and sumptuous architecture.

A solid concrete construction home, including reinforced flooring, is built over 600 sqm and indicates superb quality in all respects.

The master bedroom, overlooking the pool and recreational area, has the charm and proportions of a luxurious hotel suite in Tuscany. The modern bathroom is lavish and designed for the comfort of two. A further feature is a private library and office which forms part of the main bedroom.

The multi-award kitchen was designed to be sympathetic to the house style with an added wow factor. The large spaces and benchtops allow an excellent workflow with an abundance of storage and room for many appliances.

The kitchen is the central hub for family gatherings and can cater to large groups with ease, whilst still being a lovely family kitchen. The kitchen/dining opens out to a sheltered portico next to an outdoor fireplace.

The bedrooms are all beautifully proportioned and the house is fully insulated with two-way heating and cooling including underfloor heating.
