Timeless elegance reaches the heights of sophistication in this prestige part of Bethlehem.

Bethlehem Heights set the tone for the emergence of this suburb’s sought-after status and time has treated it well. This property boasts added attractions that lift it to another level again. Architectural design and a quality build earned the home third placing in the 1996 Registered Master Builder Awards. It’s a nice mantel to hang your hat on. Since then of course, the property has grown even further in stature. Beautiful grounds grace this home – the gardens often entered in garden festivals; and a swimming pool a focal attraction.

At 273 square metres; this is a home for the discerning – with executive taste and timeless character showcased throughout. Five bedrooms enhance the appeal. It gives families with several children and wanting schooling at Bethlehem College something to look forward to. It gives extended families options as well. It allows room for separate office space or cosy snug; and for couples with a brood of grandchildren – this home is ideal. Given the heated swimming pool, this back-yard entertainment area is particularly inviting. The pool melts into its setting and is an integral element of the garden. A guest ensuite bedroom on the ground floor opens to this paved patio area. Family life extends outdoors as well; while a gourmet kitchen finished in solid rimu gives cooks plenty to love. This hub of the house works brilliantly with the pool setting.

A formal lounge sits at the front of the home to provide a different mood. It enjoys a link with the front garden. And with patio corners to the side of the house – and a mass of greenery and colour; seclusion is an important element here. Balconies off two of the upstairs bedrooms enjoy a loftier view of the gardens – and a lovely outlook over this small cul-de-sac.
