What seals the deal is the position; perched high on the north-western edge of Mount Hobson and an easy 10 minute stroll to Newmarket's fabulous boutiques & restaurants. Depending on your fitness, Mount Hobson's summit can be reached even quicker.

Pere Street is a hidden gem of a cul-de-sac that some locals don't even know about. Sitting on a generous 985sqm of fully fenced freehold land, the house enjoys pleasant views directly north to Rangitoto Island and beyond. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and include a heated in ground pool with separate pool house plus a quaint summer house. Your children will spend countless hours running from the backyard to the front yard, playing hide & seek and bouncing on the trampoline.

The recently refreshed home is both stately and practical with a perfect mix of formal and informal living areas on the ground level. The open plan kitchen family area links the front of the house to the back - it's superb for entertaining. Above the internal access double garage a massive rumpus room can also be utilised for au pair or guest accommodation, and you'll realise the enormity of the upper floor when you discover five extra large bedrooms and two bathrooms up there.

The immediate neighbourhood is rich in character and history. Mount Hobson and the surrounding location is home to some of the finest properties built by prominent families from the turn of the century.

The short walk to St Michael's School, Remuera Primary and Kings Prep is ideal for young families, and EGGS and AGS are nearby too. Motorway access to the City is just around the corner meaning you can spend less time commuting time and more time with those who matter most.
