Looks can be deceiving. Although this home has lovely street appeal, it definitely does not look like a 5-bedroom home. A long, possibly tandem, garage has dual doors allowing you to drive through and park the boat or trailer. A covered walkway leads to the front door, so no need to get wet bringing in the groceries.
Super spacious living leads out, through a ranch-slider to a full-length covered patio which is perfect for even the biggest of family gatherings. Leading off the living is an eat in kitchen with traditional dining space and breakfast bar. There is plenty of cupboard space and the walk-in pantry is extra special. The master bedroom with ensuite has a lovely view out over the garden and bedroom 2 is just next door. Down the hallway are bedrooms 3, 4 and 5 and the family friendly bathroom, with separate shower and bath and the WC next door.
Facing north, the full enclosed backyard enjoys all day sun which allows the many fruiting trees to provide plentiful fruit options including, a lemon tree, peaches, plums, loquats, feijoas, bananas and an orange tree in the front yard. Nestled beside the cherry blossoms is a rumpus room with its own front porch. Whether the kids claim it as a games room, or it becomes the adult’s domain, sitting on the porch watching the Tui’s is a great way to spend an afternoon.
