Up a quiet driveway on Rimu Road sits a home that feels like a proper escape- without leaving home.
You're tucked into the trees, elevated enough to feel private, close enough to Glen Eden that you can grab takeaways in under 10 minutes.
It's the kind of place where you actually use your deck, where the wood burner gets a workout in winter, and where the kids (or the dog, or both) have actual space to spread out.

Inside, there's character without trying.
Exposed beams, a Waterford fire that becomes everyone's favorite spot come June, and brand new carpet that makes the whole place feel freshly loved.
The layout flows easily- living spaces open onto a wraparound deck that catches the sun and the bush views in equal measure.
Out back, the garden's level, established, and dotted with established trees.
There's a big rear deck for summer nights, a front deck for morning coffee and enough lawn for a trampoline and a game of soccer with the kids.

Three bedrooms in the main house, a bathroom with a proper deep tub, separate laundry. The owners have been here over 20 years and it shows in the thoughtful updates and care that's gone into keeping it loved.

Then there's the studio.
Separate from the house, and ready for whatever life throws at you: teenagers who need their own world, guests, creative projects, Zoom calls, weights, art, whatever.
It's one of those features you don't realize you need until you have it.

Throw in plenty of parking, a garden shed, and room to make it yours, and you've got something that works now and grows with you.
Oratia done right. Peaceful, but not isolated. Character, but livable. Close to schools, parks, the farmers market, the beach- all the good stuff
