This often-admired home charms with its modern mindset, relaxed outdoor living and gorgeous grounds. Sun-soaked living spaces and serene views are par for the course and everyday functionality reigns supreme.

The open-plan domain is portioned into two user-friendly zones and encompasses a generous dining area. Seamless flow onto the large deck ensures the home enjoys a great connection to its landscaped section and the louvred area allows for all-weather living and entertaining throughout the year. It's easy to image sitting outdoors admiring the stunning gardens and views to the Kaimai Ranges.

The master bedroom has deck access, walk in wardrobe and a tiled ensuite with a wet area shower. Family and guests are well catered to, with full bathroom and powder room.

Creature comforts include a gas fireplace and gas underfloor heating on a reticulated hotwater system with street connection. Its sturdy brick construction with double glazed windows further add to the appeal.

There's a handy extra toilet in the three-car garage, workshop space, and ample off-street parking. Professionally landscaped for visual impact and easy-care, the 827sqm (more or less) section is well-established, right down to raised veggie beds and stainless-steel sink bench.

The home was built in 2012 and designed by the current owners when they retired from farm life. It will appeal to those downsizing from larger properties, families and retirees looking for a very practical home in a beautiful environment large enough to keep owners occupied but not too big as to be burdensome.

Town is walking distance and river trails are handy. Quality at every turn, high calibre properties like this seldom come to the market in Putaruru and are a rare find - call Staci today for an information pack or come along to one of the open homes!
