Here is the PERFECT family home in the country, and just minutes from Kerikeri. Walking distance to Springbank School, this four bedroom builder-owned home has been meticulously renovated to 'better than brand new'. Designer kitchen, new two car garage/workshop, shed, covered decks in both front and back, superb interior detailing throughout (from the new carpet and tile . . . to the corniced ceilings).

Everything you could ask for in two acres of countryside. . from the beautifully private one acre elevated house site to the acre of child's wonderland below along a sparkling clear stream with swimming holes. Plenty of room for a pony, undisturbed days, and a book full of summertime adventures.

A fantastic layout with master suite and adjacent study at one end of the house and three more bedrooms at the other end. Read a book in bed without hearing the kids chatter. Lots of windows throughout, nicely situated for privacy, each bedroom is its own cozy enclave with lovely views to the surrounding greenery.

Priced to sell, I dare you to top this at $449,000.
