In a quiet avenue in a suburb that’s a magnet for prospective buyers, this owner-designed property has the goods to get house-hunter hearts racing. More spacious than most, the one-year-old townhouse represents a taste of the urbane in a location where families can’t go wrong.
The ground floor is a sleek affair with polished floorboards, high doors and high, square-set cornices. A security door entrance is a practical feature. There’s a main bedroom nearby with a bulkhead and twin walk-in wardrobe leading to an en suite with dumper shower, floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles and stone benches. Two upstairs bedrooms are just as spacious as the main room. One has a walk-in wardrobe, the other has double built-in wardrobes. Other practical features include split-systems in all the bedrooms, and dual linen closets. Upstairs, there’s a small retreat area, which is ideal for use as a sitting room
or study.
Downstairs has an east-facing open-plan area with bulkhead that incorporates a large kitchen with stone benches and big walk-in pantry. There’s also a Lofra 900mm cooker, a Fisher & Paykel two-drawer dishwasher, glass splashback, industrial-grade stainless-steel sink and soft-closing drawers.
A doorway links to the decked outdoor entertainment area.
Other features include a single garage with small workbench and storage, and a rear roller door.
The front yard will be appreciated by anyone not intent on mowing lawns; the ‘grass’ is artificial. There’s off-street parking on the stone-aggregate driveway.
