Wander down this long drive and get a surprise! A true hidden treasure in a secluded rear position, this three bedroom, two bathroom solid-brick home is a designer surprise package with a clever floorplan that hides a vast master-suite beyond its own hallway, extends airy living-dining to an all-weather al fresco area and sized up accommodation with over-sized double bedrooms. Home to a landscape professional with an all new auto-irrigated garden hedged by mature Ficus and undercover parking out front, this 1960's single-level home is a showcase of designer detail with super-thick 55mm stone benchtops and a glass-splashback for the top-of-the-range Blanco appliance kitchen, designer bathrooms with more stone and full-height imported Italian tiles, and wideboard European Oak floors throughout. Starring exceptional attention to detail with custom-cabinetry (including extended robes for all bedrooms and floating shelving for living), there's a mix of e-screen and block-out blinds for the master, hand-crafted picture rails and pelmets, wool carpets ...even a Barazza designer lab-style sink! Perfectly practical with reverse-cycle air-conditioners plus Nobo panel heating, this sensational surprise package even has a surprisingly sensational location. A walk to the station and shops, parks all-round, and right on the bus route to Southland.
