You wanted loads of space, style and character in a modern layout, well here it is. And it is just 10 years young.

When you arrive at this private and tranquil property on a quiet cul-de-sac, there is a sense of a warm welcome. The design of this gorgeous family home is fabulous and it is immaculately presented. The rooms are well-proportioned, their layout and configuration works well together. The stud height in the main living spaces and master suite, together with the exposed roof trusses, give this home a sense of the grandeur of the past and the warmth of a country lodge.

Not only is the design brilliant, the house was lovingly built by the original owner. Its facilities, fitments and finishes are pretty much all you could wish for. There are three lounges, four double bedrooms and a study or fifth bedroom/nursery in total.

The main living level has two lounges, a vast open kitchen space and dining with open fireplace and is perfect for entertaining, especially as the family lounge opens out to a huge deck for al fresco living and summer parties, bathed in sun and sheltered from Wellington's fresh breezes. Internal access to the double garage is on this level, as is the guest rest room and laundry.

The top level has a huge bedroom suite with walk in wardrobe/dressing room and ensuite you will want to bathe in - all day.

What is genius about the main bedroom/kids living level is the three double bedrooms, bathroom and the lounge. It too opens out to the garden and a second huge deck on their level. Enjoy native birdlife - Tui, Kereru and Korimako, in the picturesque setting. You are close to Khandallah Village and its amenities - transport, schools, cafes, the Mount Kaukau reserve, tennis and squash club. We think you may have been waiting for this - well here it is. Welcome home.
