There is a reason homes like this are becoming harder to find.

Set across a level 1,019sqm (more or less) site in Huapai, 36 Trigg Road delivers the space of a traditional quarter-acre property, together with the additions that make it particularly good to live in: a heated swimming pool, spa, generous lawn, excellent garaging and a home that has evolved comfortably with family life.

Inside, the living is easy and uncomplicated. The beautifully renovated kitchen, dining and lounge connect as one welcoming central space, with plenty of natural light and a wood burner for winter nights.

Three bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms, including a substantial primary suite created as part of the home's rear extension. With its own ensuite easy access to the private back deck, it gives the main bedroom a welcome degree of separation from the rest of the house.

Outside is where this property really cements its place on the shortlist.

The heated pool and spa sit within a large, private garden. The pool is positioned at the front for maximum connection to the living space, while still leaving a substantial expanse of flat lawn for children, pets and everything that comes with family life in the back garden. A place of genuine adventure and freedom for kids, it offers something seldom found. There is room to entertain, room to play and, importantly, enough land to explore further possibilities.

The well sized garage provides considerable flexibility, with space for vehicles, storage, bikes, tools or a workshop, while two additional sheds take care of the rest.

And then there is the location.

Huapai School is across the road, making the morning run about as easy as it gets. The high school is on the horizon, and the neighbours are as old-school and friendly as you could ever hope for.

Shops, cafes and everyday amenities are close by, while Kumeu, Riverhead, local wineries, Woodhill Forest and Auckland's west coast are all within easy reach.

It is an increasingly rare combination: a full-sized, flat section in central Huapai, coupled with an established home of genuine character, and a backyard already set up for the kind of lifestyle your family deserves.

This welcoming residence will quietly eclipse all the competition and provide a dreamy summer resonant with the sounds of children splashing while you sip a gin and tonic and enjoy the ease of watching them from the kitchen, lounge, or out door area. That level of integration and flexibility is exceptional.

A home that feels happy from the moment you arrive, it will make confetti of your wishlist.
