Some homes feel easy from the moment you walk in, and this is one of them. At approximately 232 square metres, there is room to spread out and still be together. With two living areas, one can be full of life while the other stays quiet, and at the end of the day there is always a comfortable place to land.

The office is a proper room with its own door. Work has a place to go during the day and can be closed away at night, so it does not follow you into the rest of the house.

There are four bedrooms, which means a room for everyone, a spare for the grandparents who come to stay, or space to grow into later. With two bathrooms, the morning rush becomes a little less of a rush and a little more of a routine.

When winter comes, the gas fireplace becomes the heart of the house. It is the place where pyjama-clad kids gather after bath time and where you finally sit down once they are in bed. There is no wood to split and no ash to clear, and the double glazing keeps the warmth inside where it belongs.

The home was built by GJ Gardner in the 2010s, and it is made to look after itself. The brick and tile ask very little of you. The 602sqm section is easy to care for, so weekends go to swimming lessons, birthday parties and slow breakfasts rather than the garden. The double garage takes two cars, the bikes, the scooters and everything else a growing family collects.

Northbrook Glen is a quiet street in Flagstaff, in Hamilton's north. Hare Puke Playground is a short walk away, with its sandpit and its scooter track, and it will likely become a regular stop. The rest of the city is easy to reach when the week calls for it, and easy to come home from.

This is a home made for some of the busiest and best years of life.
