Set behind remote-controlled gates, a paved driveway and neat gardens welcome you to this stylish family home. Inside, the entrance hall leads through to a four-bedroom residence designed with comfort in mind. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light, while double glazing, a wood fire, heat pump and heat transfer system keep the home warm all year round.

At the heart of the home is a modern kitchen with butler’s pantry, a generous island bench, pendant lighting and quality appliances. The kitchen flows into the dining area and lounge, with doors opening out to the terrace, making it a great spot for entertaining.

The master bedroom with direct access to the patio has a walk-in wardrobe, a tiled ensuite with underfloor heating & heated towel rails . The other bedrooms are light and practical, and the family bathroom stands out with a freestanding bath, under floor heating & heated towel rails. There is also a separate guest toilet, a good-sized laundry and a large walk-in linen cupboard for extra storage.

Outside, a pergola creates a relaxed space for meals in the sun, while the patio with spa pool is perfect for evenings under the stars. The fully fenced lawns are ideal for kids and pets, and a wifi-controlled sprinkler system keeps the grounds green with ease. For those who enjoy gardening, there are raised beds, a small greenhouse and a wide selection of fruit trees. Water is supplied by town supply, a 10,000 litre storage tank and a private well for the garden. Parking is well catered for with a double internal-access garage plus another double garage and a carport.

This home is handy to schools, shops and local amenities, with Kaiapoi and Rangiora just a short drive away and Christchurch City around half an hour for work or weekends in town.
