Warm timber detail, expansive communal areas and a charming indoor-outdoor connection make this Thames home a real catch. Set across 120m² on a 752m² section, the split-level layout creates a relaxed balance between shared spaces and quieter retreats.

Designed with entertaining in mind, the kitchen and dining area form a sociable everyday hub where daylight spills in from multiple directions. A heat pump keeps this space comfortable through the seasons, while doors open directly to the covered deck. Upstairs, the separate lounge adds another dimension to daily life, with a striking timber-lined ceiling, exposed beams and a ceiling fan creating an inviting place for music, casual entertaining and daily rhythms.

Three bedrooms give the household flexibility, with two positioned on the ground floor alongside the main bathroom. Upstairs, the third bedroom sits beside a second bathroom, creating useful separation for family, guests or anyone wanting a little more privacy. Carpet through the bedrooms and upper living area keeps the space snug.

A covered deck provides a sheltered setting for long lunches, while a second, larger deck looks across the surrounding greenery and gives gatherings room to stretch outdoors. Established lawn and plantings add breathing space, and the internal-access single garage with two carparks complete the practical setup.

Mount Sea Road keeps the home handy to Pārāwai School and Thames High School, while weekends can involve picnics at Victoria Park or exploring the tracks around the John William Hall Arboretum at the top end of Mount Sea Road.
