Nestled within a prestigious gated community, this striking home offers the perfect blend of classic architecture and modern comforts, coupled with gorgeous garden views and a fully self-contained apartment. After the careful design and build process and many years of enjoyment, the children have now flown the coup and a downsize is the focus of the owners next chapter - creating a wonderful opportunity in this coveted enclave of homes. Boasting four spacious bedrooms and three large living areas, this home is designed for those who appreciate privacy, elegance, and versatile living spaces. The flexible layout includes a fully self-contained apartment on the ground floor (bedroom, kitchen, living and bathroom) which has proven itself as a rental income stream for the current owners, but is also ideal for extended family, guests or home help if needed. Each room in the home has been designed to maximise the garden outlook, with the Southern Alps beyond. The lush easy care gardens and manicured lawns create a peaceful environment perfect for relaxing or entertaining - ideal for both family life and hosting guests. Completed in 2007 with Hebel aerated concrete panels with a cavity system, additional comforts include solar panels, diesel powered radiators and underfloor heating, double glazing throughout and a triple car internal access garage. Although your privacy and quiet surrounds is assured in this location, you are in close proximity to local shops, cafes and farmers market whilst being an easy 15 - 20 minute commute to the airport or central city. With the owners set on their next move, your opportunity to secure your lifestyle in the country is ready and waiting.
