An entertainers delight with fabulous living areas indoor and out, coupled with awesome views (north over the city to the mountains, east to the coast and the Kaikoura's, and south up the green valley), this Lockwood home has "family" written all over it: 4 bedrooms including Master with ensuite, family bathroom plus extra toilet, (3 toilets in total), an office, a huge lounge, and plenty of storage for all those toys! You're bound to be taken with the feeling of spaciousness as soon as you open the impressive entrance door, thanks to the split level design and floor to ceiling windows that enable the light and sun to stream on in. You will reap the benefits of a totally new kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances (including self cleaning oven!) and masses of bench space just perfect for dinner parties; however with 2 outdoor deck areas you may prefer to BBQ and eat alfresco as you enjoy the evening light on the nearby hills and far away mountains. There is a perfect mixture of timber for warmth and ambience alongside painted walls for colour. Talking of warmth, this home is substantially double-glazed throughout and boasts 2 heat pumps, so you'll be perfectly snug on those cooler evenings. The just-completed EQC minor repairs mean you'll walk in to a newly painted home (inside and out). You won't need to spend much time in the immaculate and easy care garden, yet you will enjoy having a vege garden that is ready for the picking, and enough fenced, flat lawn area for the children (or the dog!) to play. At the end of the day you can escape to Norway, or believe you have, as you soak in the bath surrounded by all that gorgeous timber. For active fun, Landsdowne Reserve with its great playground is at the end of the street; the Bowenvale track close by for walking, running and mountain biking or perhaps take it a little easier and just go for a stroll beside the Heathcote.
