A home of this size and scale is an exceptionally rare find within the city limits. Set behind electric gates and surrounded by beautifully established, landscaped grounds, this impressive residence offers an extraordinary 403m2 (more or less) floor plan and a huge 2240m2 (more or less) section that creates a private, park-like sanctuary in the heart of central Hokowhitu. Designed with fabulous living at its core, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area provides the perfect gathering space for family and friends. The generous kitchen will delight the keen cook, while the living areas flow effortlessly outdoors to a spacious deck, complete with a remote-operated pergola. Beyond lies an enviable backyard where lush lawns meet a sparkling saltwater swimming pool and dedicated BBQ area plus pool room and pump shed. Whether entertaining a crowd or keeping the children occupied throughout a summer afternoon, this is outdoor living at its finest. And when you need a little separation, there is plenty of it. A separate lounge and a further rumpus room, complete with projector screen, provide fantastic additional spaces. Five bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across two levels, with the master bedroom enjoying its own ensuite. Two further bathrooms and additional toilet and wash up area ensure there is plenty of convenience for a busy household. Storage is abundant throughout, complemented by a dedicated laundry room, while an impressive attic room adds another dimension to this already substantial home. Use it as a teenage retreat, hobby room, home office, games room or explore the potential to create a self-contained space. Outside, the established gardens provide an incredible sense of privacy and tranquillity. It is hard to believe you are in such a central city location, yet Hokowhitu's excellent amenities, schools, parks and recreational opportunities are all within easy reach. School zoning includes Hokowhitu School, College Street Normal School, Palmerston North Intermediate and Palmerston North Boys' and Girls' High School. Impressive in every sense, this is a home that offers the space, flexibility and lifestyle that very few properties in the city can match. Don't let this exceptional opportunity pass you by.
