So you have a growing family... grow them here.

This 290sqm home is well designed, well built, with an excellent layout, style and enduring characteristics. For families wanting space and facilities for everyone, you've probably just found it.

If your checklist includes four double bedrooms, a library, formal living and dining rooms, a large family room, two bathrooms, cloakroom, storeroom, double garage, internal access and off street parking, then its time to make an appointment - let me elaborate.

The house is brilliantly sited at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, on an elevated knoll with all day sun and views across Ngaio and bush clad hillsides. The lobby is welcoming, the kitchen light and airy with a breakfast bar and view from the bench. The feeling here is calm fresh and friendly. Vaulted ceilings mirror the roofline and add to its style - especially the family room Rimu feature linings.

Living rooms are all on the ground level and open out to exterior garden rooms - there's always somewhere to sit and soak up sun daylong. Take breakfast outdoors on the east side and aperitifs in the evening on the sheltered west patio. Entertaining here is a doddle. Three heat pumps provide for additional comfort.

Make this home your best ever gift to the family.
