Secret garden lifestyle

Nestled within the quiet Ararimu lifestyle, this classic, modernized 3 double bedroom cottage on more than two acres offers a picturesque backdrop to raising a family.

So close to Ararimu School and down a quiet no-exit road, this much-loved family home has been fastidiously maintained and thoughtfully modernized over time. The designer galley-style kitchen has all the mod cons and dull winter days are warm and cosy with two heat pumps and a woodburner.

The three generous bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the spacious remodeled bathroom includes a tiled shower, free-standing bath and floor-to-ceiling tiled splash back with a second separate WC completing the picture of a functional family home. The spacious north-facing open plan living and dining enjoys all day sun and natural light.

Access is easy through multiple doors out to the wrap around deck, classic bull nose verandah and peaceful garden beyond. Magnolias, citrus and olives are scattered through this informal garden with secret nooks for walking in or relaxing with a book.
Take a seat under the wisteria pergola listening to the nearby waterfall and enjoying views of the stream running merrily along the bottom of the garden.

The lawn and garden is flanked by two paddocks, as well as double and single lockable garages plus workshop, totaling more than two acres. With its peaceful location sited for sunshine and privacy, this property offers wonderful opportunities for the lifestyler wanting to feel instantly at home.
