Large and multigenerational families will love the significant space and clever separation within the super-sized, two-level residence, where the functional, flexible floorplan can grow with you over the years. This home will be a magnet for your children and their friends no matter their age and stage, and an entertaining paradise for all.

The original bungalow was crafted in the mid-1930s and has been thoughtfully expanded and refurbished over the years, while still retaining many of the classic heritage features. Elegantly liveable interiors celebrate a relaxed, coastal vibe, with endless room for everyone to spread out or come together when needed.

Four large bedrooms and the family bathroom are located on the ground floor, as is the oversized internal garage. Two more bedrooms and bathrooms are located upstairs, including the huge master retreat boasting a private balcony, an office, walk-in robe and ensuite.

The separate formal lounge doubles as a media room, while the vast open-plan chef's kitchen with butler's pantry, dining and abundant living space flows out on one side to a deck overlooking the pool and gardens and on the other side to a private, wisteria covered veranda and courtyard surrounded by a myriad of fruit trees. The numerous indoor and outdoor living spaces mean adults and kids can host friends simultaneously, completely independently of each other.

There is more off-street parking than you can imagine, as well as plenty of storage in the home and garage for all your toys. At Christmas time the grand Pohutukawa blazes with red flowers and provides a stunning backdrop to the tranquil garden views.

Finally, a site so large opens the opportunity to add a second dwelling, subject to Council consents if any are required.

This property is a rare offering on so many fronts and a must-see family home.
