Buyers seeking a well-balanced town and country lifestyle will be wowed by this 5,000 sq m (more or less) Newstead property. An enticing environment for fun and relaxation, it has an 'on holiday' vibe and outshines for location, size, and family liveability. Children and teens will find their groove and parents will appreciate the entertaining options.
From the original 1955 brick and tile farmhouse, the home has morphed into an elegant, detailed five-bedroom residence with all the comforts for everyday living and functionality, including a central vac system, central heating, and LED lights. Large entrance doors open into the stunning, high-stud grand living and dining area on a gleaming matai floor. Eyes are drawn to the decorative cornices and the framing of the log burner's hearth.
The light-filled open-plan domain contains a quality kitchen and flows effortlessly onto the alfresco zones and barbecue area. Two fixed cantilevered umbrellas provide welcome shade on hot summer days. There is ample storage and an undercover area outside the backdoor.
The master bedroom has an en-suite and the guest suite sits above the double garage. Matai flooring enriches the en-suite and main bathroom.
An accessorised, depth-graded saltwater swimming pool beckons for summer fun, and the rumpus room, which is part of the second double garage, has space for table tennis and a chalk wall for amusement. Resurfaced 10 years ago, the tennis court with the mobile net is seamlessly carved into the picturesque, private grounds adorned with majestic trees, raised vegetable beds, an orchard, and a treehouse.
On the corner of Vaile and Ruakura Roads, the location is hard to beat. Favourite cafes and restaurants, as well as pre-school, are within walking distance, Newstead School is handy, and school zones are sought after. Waikato University, Ruakura businesses, urban amenities, and access to the Expressway are nearby.
