336 Old North Road, Kumeu, Rodney, Auckland, 0892, New Zealand
This one leaves everyone that visits breathless at its beauty. To say the grounds are ‘park-like’ would be grossly understating their magic and the degree to which they are manicured. At a smidgeon over 10,000sqm, they evoke an instant sense of wonder – one almost expects to see Alice in a neat little blue dress shadowing a white rabbit.
Fairytale perfection would be a fitting title for a garden that has undoubtedly been a labour of love, but in its mature state, is now gloriously easy care. As is this immaculate single level brick and tile home. Absolutely expansive, it offers a stunning architectural signature; wide rooms lend grace and elegance, while multiple linked living zones provide a sense of generous welcome.
This is a home that sings out for children or grandchildren to explore, with a living room so oversized it will accommodate multigenerational family gatherings with ease. Decorated in neutral colours throughout, it has an exquisite light-quality, enhancing an outlook that is awash with the pretty patchwork of greens that characterises Northwest Auckland.
A mixture of near level land and rolling contoured lawn, the three bay garaging, picture perfect aspect, views and craftsmanship will have you at hello. The care, lovingly planted garden beds, and impeccable freshness of the presentation will keep you head over heels in love.
As with all the homes in Kumeu, this one is utterly spoiled for choice when it comes to childcare centers and schooling while weekends will be spent traversing the forest paths – this address is so close to Riverhead Forest you can smell the pristine piny air – and exploring Muriwai beach with a stop at the esteemed local wineries on the way home.
