If easy, low-stress family living is at the top of your wish list, this beautifully finished, familysized home could be your golden ticket.
Positioned at the super-convenient end of Riddell Road, this is a central-to-everything location families love. You’re just steps from St Heliers School, within walking distance of Glendowie and Sacred Heart Colleges, and only several hundred metres from cafés and everyday conveniences. Easy transport links to the city and beyond, combined with quick access to green spaces, Bays beaches and St Heliers Village, mean you’re perfectly placed.
Privately tucked away at the rear of two homes and further secured behind electronic gates, the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful and safe setting. At its heart is expansive openplan living, anchored by an eye-catching Hamptons-inspired kitchen complete with an Agastyle double oven, ideal for everything from weeknight meals to entertaining. Large northand east-facing bifold doors seamlessly connect the living spaces to the outdoors.
Outside, you’re spoilt for choice with multiple zones to enjoy: a sheltered pavilion for entertaining, a vegetable garden, and a separate courtyard off the garage — perfect for teens (or adults) to retreat.
Upstairs, the elevated outlook stretches across Glendowie to the Tamaki Estuary. Four generous bedrooms, all comfortable doubles, are complemented by a flexible additional space, ideal as a second lounge or home office. Two large, luxurious bathrooms are supported by two additional separate toilets for everyday ease.
The carpeted double garage is a standout bonus. With windows bringing in natural light, it offers far more than just parking — think man cave or recreation zone for kids at any stage. It also connects directly to the private courtyard, while ample off-street parking for at least three vehicles takes care of the cars.
Finished with a timeless weatherboard exterior and surrounded by easy-care, established planting, this is a home that’s comfortable, practical and ready to be enjoyed immediately.
