There’s room here for everyday life to spread out comfortably. This four bedroom two bathroom home has plenty of off street parking plus an internal access double garage and is fully fenced.

The main living/dining area is bright and open to the two entertaining decks. A deck out from the dining/kitchen and then another out from the main living space. The kitchen has generous bench space for those family occasions when there is more than one cook in the kitchen. A butlers pantry has lots of storage. The log-burner and heat pump in this open plan area keeps you warm on those chilly days and it is north facing so catches the all day sun too. A second living can be shut off from this open plan space for when you need down time or that jigsaw that needs your concentration. A study nook is a great size for the home office. Just shut away behind doors to hid what you are working on when the need arises.

The main bedroom has an en-suite with underfloor heating and walk-in robe. A sliding door takes you straight outside to the deck for your morning coffee or chill out space. Three other bedrooms all have built in wardrobes and are a good size. A family bathroom has a bath and shower and separate WC. The laundry has a good size folding bench with plenty of storage with direct access outside.

There are so many options. Growing your own food in the existing vege beds and green house, add more vege beds. You have the space and the fruit trees will blossom and produce fruit. There is a covered carport for the firewood, kids bikes and sheds for garden implements. There is still plenty of room for the kids to ride their bikes or play soccer. There are solar panels that set you up nicely to save on your power and these stay with the house.

You are within easy reach of cafés and shops, the Sunday Oxford Farmers Market, gym, swimming pool, library, access to schools and preschools. If this mix of space, sunlight and a quieter Canterbury pace feels like your next move, call Linda McCarthy 022 692 6090.
