Family Fantasic

Rich on features and ripe for living, this expansive home has it all. You'd think that the five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two living areas would be enough, but there's even more for the family to enjoy when you add a pool, triple garaging and a large garden studio or sleepout.

Set at the elevated city end of St Heliers with the amenities of Eastridge, Parnell and Remuera close by and the private school bus at the gate, this handsome home is elevated for sun and urban views. Living areas stretch out across the north-western side of the house with the swimming pool and barbecue terrace right outside. Watch the kids play through over-bench bifold windows from the granite-topped kitchen or family living area or retire to the more formal living, with a gas fireplace.

Three of the five bedrooms have ensuites - perfect for guests or extended family or a live-in nanny or au pair - while the main bathroom is large and welcoming with a corner spa bath. Pamper yourself with a private master wing with room enough for a sitting area.

The 956m2 grounds are easy-care with schist stone features, pool enclosure, the triple garage complex and sleepout. Use it as a home studio or office or turn it over to the kids as a games room. Extras include a seriously large storage room as well as utility/laundry room and pool shed. Central to all that is good about the eastern suburbs - beaches, shops, destination outlets, parks - this is your family dream come true.
