Four bedrooms is luxury enough. Five is downright divine. Add the pleasure of a pool for summer entertainment, the seclusion of gated entry in this Tamahere pocket and this home gives lifestyle new meaning. Somewhere your family can spread out and grow; safe and secure.

Just over 5000sqm gives you ample room to stretch. The pool is sorted; there's even a spa in the corner. Hedging and trees fringe the grounds to give you privacy; landscaping is designed for easy care, a citrus grove fills the fruit bowl and a robot mower manicures the lawn. Enjoy the open playground as it is, or attract more birdlife with natives and start the kids on the pathway to home-grown veggies.

Built in 2016, modern comfort flows throughout this home; natural sunlight, function and flow all making for a happy family life. Entertain to your heart's content, with a bespoke kitchen and spacious scullery for extra prep and serious storage.

Either gathering around the bar-stool island, dining formally or relaxing in the family lounge by the fireplace, this is the heart of the home. A separate lounge next door shuts off for TV time. But with living areas facing north and looking out to the pool, you won't want to spend much time inside. Outside, is where all good things happen here. A sheltered loggia for alfresco dining and sun-drenched decking for quiet relaxation while the kids frolic in the pool or play cricket on the lawn.

A calm sense of country freedom matches this home's contemporary mood. Styled with tone and texture, and every bedroom personalised to suit, the kitchen's quality finish follows similar excellence in both bathrooms and dedicated laundry.

Not far from all that makes Tamahere sought after; zoned for Tamahere, Berkley Normal and Hillcrest schooling and a bus stop in the street, what more do you need? Life is a breeze. Come home here and you'll never want to leave.
