About this property

Country in the city

Summary:

An architecturally designed 3 bdm home (completed in December 2020) offering all day sun (north facing) that overlooks a 50 hectare bush park with regenerating native forest. The home provides a feeling of country in the city. Sunny, peaceful and private. The Park includes nature trails, picnic tables, tennis club, golf course and thriving native birdlife thanks to a predator-control programme. An easy stroll through the park and down the road to more than one beautiful sandy beach.



The Space:

The house has double glazed windows and is well insulated. A large wrap around timber deck (with handrails) that connects with the dining / living areas provide good indoor / outdoor flow. Steps lead from the deck to the park and walking trails beyond. The outdoor space (lawn, gardens and deck) are fully fenced.

There are multiple (very good) cafes within 3 kms. The Milford Mall and shopping centre (incl 2 large supermarkets) is 3 kms away on a bus route. The bus stop is opposite the property driveway.

Mairangi Bay shopping centre is 2 and half kms away (also on a bus route.)

A primary school playground is opposite the property driveway.

The park (beside the dwelling) includes tennis courts, a golf course, walking trails through the bush.
