In an exclusive Hillcrest cul-de-sac sits this 2 storied 330sqm home with a warm cozy ambience. Newly renovated & lovingly maintained, this 5 bedroom home is a "must". Sitting above the bush (which is home to native bats) the home flows well to private outdoor areas, one north facing & one south west facing, allowing stunning views of the river, bush, distant farm land & Pirongia. The sunsets have to be seen! Renovations have recently seen a Robyn Coldwell kitchen including, state of the art drawers, pantry & cooktop, all these tastefully enhanced by an upmarket neutral coloured cork tile floor. This area could be described as the "hub" of the home with the easy flow to an outdoor patio room. On the other side of the kitchen is the formal dining, which in turn flows out to the stunning out look from the wrap around deck. The home is large but doesn't feel so with so many interesting features & the sympathetic redecorations have enhanced the original feel of the home. The 5 bedrooms are all doubles, the master on the ground floor boasting a spacious new ensuite & walk in wardrobe. If one doesn't require 5 bedrooms an upstairs bedroom is big enough for a second living area & is the current home of an office & library. The family bathroom upstairs is easily accessible from the bedrooms & has been recently totally refurbished. mature gardens envelop the home & pottage's to the side of the home constantly supply a diverse range of produce. Situated close to the boardwalk, minutes from the CBD, airport, expressway & zoned for all levels of excellent schooling, this home is available for a short term lease between 18 May and 31 July. The property will be fully furnished. Internet and basic Sky television are included - Power is at the tenants expense.
