The architect's skillful touch is evident throughout. Negative detailing, an open-riser staircase, the master bedroom's bespoke privacy screen, and Spiderman brick patterns enhance your experience of living in this restful cedar & concrete home.

One of the more enticing aspects of this beautiful six year old Julian Guthrie designed home is in the way it captures and distributes sunlight from dusk to dawn. Located at the end of a pancake-flat driveway behind an automatic gate; peace, privacy and security is assured in this north-facing sanctuary on 501sqm of freehold land.

The easycare garden, complete with a cedar hot tub, provides a lush green backdrop to the inviting formal and informal living rooms that surround a gorgeous big kitchen with scullery. The dining area features a double-height void that lets even more light in and reinforces the spaciousness of this 311sqm (approximately) home.

The ground level also hosts a fifth bedroom / guest suite with its own bathroom, a separate laundry plus a powder room and double internal access garage. There is plenty of off-street parking too. Solid oak timber floors continue up the stairs to reveal a further four bedrooms, another two bathrooms and a study nook. The master bedroom suite really delivers with a generous walk-in-robe and double-sink double-shower ensuite.

With Benson Road's shops and cafes just 200 metres away, and Orakei Basin, schools and train station not much further, this is an opportunity beyond compare.

This spacious and inviting five bedroom home represents exceptional value for money on today's market. Just imagine the time and cost involved to build a home of this quality today.
