Relish Life on the Ridge

The scope for a wonderful life expands when you live in a classically spacious home which commands a stunning panorama with lots happening, where you step straight out to wide patio linking compact grounds above the view. This light airy lower level home is one of three in a complex built some 12 years ago by award winning master builders Harwood Homes. Allowing each dwelling a full floor has obvious benefits; you are hardly aware of the neighbours. This home has its own double garage at ground level, with its own internal access, then a separate front entry from the side path. There is plenty of parking outside the garage and even more in shared visitor parking on the property, that and the drive in off the street the only communally used areas. You enjoy complete privacy around your home; its outdoor areas are on your title. While couples and retirees will love it here, the 249m2 home has plenty of room for a busy family, the office off the foyer generous enough for a fourth bedroom if required. While you have plenty of outdoor living for relaxation and entertaining the property will free you up to enjoy all your leisure time, pursue your recreational interests, or support children in copious extra-curricular activities A family has happily lived here, partied on the patio, and spent hours simply soaking up the action on the sparkling water. TV took a back seat to delighting in orca, seeing yachts on the harbour, watching jet skis and power boats skim past, counting the cruise ships, and marveling at the lights from both Mount Maunganui and the many ships visiting the busy port. The north facing master suite has bi-folds to patio protected by a smoky glass wall and plumbed for a spa - creating the perfect spot for soaking up the night lights Two more bi-fold doors open the living areas to the patio. The kitchen sits slightly to the rear, overlooking the dining area. Benches are granite, cabinetry oak veneer, appliances are Smeg and the stainless steel fridge stays. Brand new carpet has just been laid to enhance timeless d?cor in creams with darker drapes. Appreciate crafted cornices and recessed lounge ceiling as evidence of enduring quality extending to the plastered concrete block exterior walls. Families will be pleased to see four big hall cupboards, and a huge internal laundry, storage and ironing room on the way to two double bedrooms off the hall. The main bathroom has a touch of Rome in pillars by the bath, both bathrooms have molded hand basins, (two in the en suite), and a textured tile frieze in a cream on cream colour scheme. This dwelling deserves viewing just to prove to you just how much scope there is to live it up at ground level, and meet your needs in a surprisingly satisfying way.
