There's plenty of space, indoors and out, for a large active family, who want to live close to the city yet enjoy the benefits of a Tamahere lifestyle. Children can have a field day on this lifestyle block, building huts in the gully, raising animals, splashing in the solar-heated pool and running free on 9858m2. Able to cope with a crowd, the extended home has spacious living options and generous accommodation, including two full master suites, plus relaxed living areas that unfold onto private alfresco settings. From morning coffee to late evening barbecue, enhanced by the ambience of the fireplace, the outdoor area is designed for day and night entertaining. The well-equipped granite kitchen, with a walk-in pantry, double dishwash drawers, a 900mm oven and gas hob, not only serves your entertaining needs, under-tile heating assures a warm work environment. Bathrooms also have under-tile heating. Each bedroom boasts a heat pump, guaranteeing comfort all year round. The large master suite is a peaceful retreat with room for lounging. There is a tiled laundry, plentiful storage, three-car internal access garaging and plenty of parking. A family can live happily here, tending to veggies, picking fruit in the orchard, and watching kids and pets romp to their hearts' content. The two paddocks are well fenced and the gully is a source of adventure, bordered by a stream. Two UV filtered water tanks provide a safe, ample water supply. Zoned for popular Tamahere Model Country School and Hillcrest schools, the property lies close to Tamahere's developing modern village and expressway. Hillcrest and the Hamilton CBD are an easy drive.
