One of the first homes to grace a quality Tamahere subdivision, this appealing five-year old property, places huge value on relaxed family living. It is well-connected to village amenities and popular country school, and just minutes from Hillcrest. The elegant Linea board home possesses architectural elements that allow indoor living to expand outdoors, the whole clan to gather together or disperse to separate areas, and guests to be entertained in style. Double-glazed interiors provide a chic living environment full of comfort and style. The separate lounge is a cosy nest with a woodburner and the open concept family zone spills onto a portico setting for summer barbecues. The master suite eases onto a peaceful deck and the double family bedrooms feature good storage solutions. The fifth bedroom is ideally positioned for an office, if needed. Both the ensuite (with a dual walk-in shower) and main bathroom luxuriate on heated tiled floors. Little used, the family bathroom is a pristine space offering a tiled walk-in dual shower and well-lit dual vanities. Foodies will relish working in a kitchen with Smeg double wall ovens and dishwasher, plumbed-in refrigeration, a well-organised walk-in pantry and streamlined cabinetry. There is a separate laundry, a double garage with loft storage and a garden shed. The 5782m2 block is fenced, wind-sheltered and pet-safe. It nurtures numerous fruit trees, various delectable berries and a big spread of veggie beds. Kids have oodles of lawn to burn off steam and their own playhouse to enjoy. A drip feed water system makes the grounds easy-care. Two tanks collect water and the sewage is on a biocycle system. Birchwood Lane is within close proximity to Tamahere's growing village amenities, including Four Square and medical centre. The expressway is moments away for commuters. Tamahere is a warm, friendly community with a great school and neighbourhood spirit.
