37 Riverside Drive, Waiuku, Franklin

Space to spread, room to roam

Overlooking the water, alongside the palm trees of the lush reserve, families must make viewing this stunner a priority.

Enjoying four bedrooms and living space out across three levels, this waterside beauty offers the flexibility of two lounge areas, a media room/studio with an attached office, and easy connection to three decks (one covered with pull-down blinds) and a fully fenced garden.

Parents, watch the sunrise over the glistening waterway as you step out of the master bedroom onto the entertaining deck, where, by night you can dine alfresco with family and friends alike. Three generous bedrooms upstairs for the kids are fresh in their natural light and filled with character from the peaked, exposed timber ceilings. There's even an office with hidden storage - a win for those who work from home.

The high-spec and recently renovated kitchen sits in the open-plan area with the cosy first lounge. Meanwhile, the second living room is the spot for comfy movie nights with its wired-in speakers. Adding to the ease of family functionality are the two bathrooms (one with a spa bath), a powder room, and the hidden storage spaces that will keep the house looking tidy.

There's a double internal access garage and off-street parking, but with everything you need within walking distance - including the popular Sandspit Road School - you can leave the car at home!

Join the Waiuku walking path to Tamakae Reserve and into the town for Sunday brunch, or pop in for a drink at the country's longest continuously licensed hotel The Kentish Hotel when visitors come knocking. Take the kids to the ever-popular Glenbrook Vintage Railway and spend weekends exploring the stunning coast up to the Awhitu Peninsula.

Come and see why Waiuku is becoming an increasingly sought-after pocket for families looking to escape the city rush.
