Fantastic Family Freedom in Bethlehem

The focus is on family living in a home that caters for a relaxed carefree life facing grounds where children and dogs frolic while parents easily keep an eye on them. A separate workshop and accommodation welcomes extended family or facilitates running your business from home. \n\nDesigned with harmonious happy family life in mind this property has delivered exactly that. It is no wonder the kid's friends don't want them to move. This is where they all congregate. There is a huge front lawn for games, and a wide drive perfect for skateboards. When the weather is bad the snug media room next to the main lounge comes into its own.\n\nThe central situated kitchen surveys living areas and outside, enjoying clear connection with casual seating in front, large dining room to one side and lounge a couple of steps below. When the children and their friends converge for feeding they line up round the breakfast bar. The walk in pantry behind the kitchen has a hatch through to a sensible big family laundry. Hard wearing flooring and comfortable carpet can take all a family throws at it.\n\n Friends can always 'stay over' when each of the family bedrooms is designed to accommodate a double bed or a single and pull out couch, each has plenty of storage and a window seat with copious drawers below it. These are bedrooms that will serve your children from primary school to maturity. There is a fourth bedroom/rumpus room/office in this wing and the master suite close enough to the kids for peace of mind but nicely apart for privacy. Parents can step out of their light and airy bedroom onto a private deck which links the main outdoor areas. Both the family bathroom and the large en suite have vessel hand basins atop Jarrah benches. The bath sits under a tinted window for a garden view soak.\n\nThe living areas all open to low decks which merge into the lawn, across which is a Mongolian barbeque on concrete pavers under a burre. Entertaining 100 people proves no problem when you can grill en masse and guests can mill around the lawn and deck. The property is sheltered and soaks up western sunshine, the Kaimai sunsets your evening backdrop.\n\nBehind the main 310m2 home the drive extends to a high stud workshop with two bedroom accommodation attached - 135m2 of creative space with the option to have a family member live independently or for your on site professional base. There is separate parking and ample space for a campervan or large boat beside the shed. \n\nThe easy 3800m2 grounds are fringed with landscaping; fruit trees flourish. Children can go to school at Bethlehem College or the local primary just along the road, while you enjoy all the local amenities and the proximity of the city.\n\nFamily life does not get much better!\n
