There’s something about 18 Dougherty Place that you can’t quite put into words - but you feel it straight away. Maybe it’s the way the sun pours into the living spaces and seems to stay there… or maybe it’s the sense that this has truly been a lived-in, loved home.

Tucked into a peaceful cul-de-sac in Hokowhitu, this is the kind of street where life feels just that little bit easier. Safe, friendly, and quietly special. Step inside and everything flows the way a family home should. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is the heart of it all, not just a place to cook, but a place to gather, talk, laugh, and be together. It opens effortlessly out to a covered alfresco space, where dinners stretch longer, and seasons don’t really matter.

And when it’s time for a bit of space, there’s a large separate lounge ready to become whatever you need it to be – a formal lounge, movie nights, a kids’ zone, or simply somewhere to slow things down.

Three generous bedrooms offer room for everyone, with a master that feels like a quiet retreat, complete with its own ensuite and the luxury of two wardrobes. The rest of the home is well supported by a family bathroom, designed for the rhythm of everyday life. Practicality hasn’t been forgotten either, a separate laundry, internal access double garage, and a fully fenced backyard where kids and pets can just safely be.

Set on an easy-care 534m2 (more or less) section, the home is warm in every sense of the word, with two heat pump units, an HRV system, infinity gas hot water, and full insulation keeping things comfortable all year round.

And then there’s the lifestyle. Excellent school zoning, river walks, the lagoon, the esplanade; all just moments away. Weekends here don’t need much planning, they just happen. This isn’t a home that tries too hard. It doesn’t need to. It’s warm. It’s welcoming. And it’s ready for its next story.

The decision is black and white – call Quine & Co today to view.
