Positioned in one of Patumahoe’s most tightly held cul-de-sac locations, 37 Searle Drive delivers an exceptional standard of family living with a level of presentation that is simply hard to fault. Immaculately maintained and beautifully presented, this substantial 231sqm (more or less) residence combines executive comfort, practical family functionality, and outstanding outdoor entertaining on a generous 951sqm (more or less) section.
Striking street appeal, manicured grounds, and the home’s impressive stone chimney immediately set the tone for the quality and presentation found throughout this beautifully maintained property. Extensive off-street parking easily accommodates extra vehicles, a boat, or caravan - a feature becoming increasingly difficult to find in modern subdivisions.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Offering four generous bedrooms plus a dedicated hidden office, two bathrooms, a separate laundry, and multiple living spaces, the layout provides flexibility for growing families, professionals working from home, or those who simply appreciate extra room to spread out. The impressive 2.7m stud height through the main living areas further enhances the sense of space and natural light, creating an airy and welcoming environment throughout the home.
The heart of the home is the stunning chef-inspired kitchen, designed with both style and practicality in mind. Featuring quality appliances, expansive bench space, and a fully fitted butler’s pantry plumbed for water, this is a space equally suited to busy family mornings or entertaining larger groups with ease. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the open-plan living and dining areas, while a separate formal lounge, complete with a gas fireplace, creates a warm and inviting second living retreat.
One of the home’s true highlights is the exceptional connection to outdoor living. North-west facing and designed to maximise sun and privacy, the expansive decking offers three separate entertaining zones that allow you to follow the sun throughout the day and enjoy beautiful evening sunsets. Whether it’s entertaining around the BBQ, relaxing under the remote-control sunshade, or unwinding in the spa pool area, this home has been designed to make outdoor living effortless year-round.
Adding further appeal is the extra garage workshop space, along with attic ladder access, providing excellent additional storage - ideal for families needing practical solutions without compromising on presentation.
The attention to maintenance and detail throughout the property is immediately evident, with recent new carpet and premium underlay installed throughout the home and garage, while the exterior has also been freshly repainted in premium Resene X200 paint, offering years of low-maintenance living.
Located in the highly desirable lower end of Searle Drive, the home enjoys easy access to the local pond, walkways, and the relaxed village lifestyle that continues to make Patumahoe one of Franklin’s most sought-after communities.
After 8 happy years of ownership, the vendors are now committed to their next move, creating a rare opportunity to secure an executive-quality home in a location where properties of this calibre are tightly held.
Homes presented to this standard are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
