Longer summer days are just around the corner, so there's no better time to grab this picture-perfect family-friendly four bedroom home. Turn the devices off, set the kids free in the pool, and dine alfresco with friends on the sunny rear deck in total privacy.

If the pretty facade of this immaculate 1930s weatherboard bungalow isn't enough to tempt you, just wait until you see inside and out the back. Sympathetic renovations have transformed every room with warm textures, modern colour palettes, skylights and double glazing. Old blends effortlessly with new, and the indoor/outdoor flow is impressive.

Your modern kitchen/family area links directly via bi-fold windows and doors to the glorious backyard. There are two living areas, one of which links directly to the lush lawn. Downstairs there's a shiny new laundry and a handy over-sized store room. Back on the entry level, two of the four bedrooms include ensuites (ideal for guests), and the master bedroom features a walk-through wardrobe.

Located between the Remuera Villages and Meadowbank, the Lunn Ave shops are a short drive down the hill, and Waiatarua Reserve, the off-leash dog walking mecca, is even closer. The College Rifles sports club, with rugby, netball and a gym, is literally at the end of the street. New traffic lights on the crest of Remuera Road make for a safe walk to and from Meadowbank School (1600 metres away).

All the hard work has been done here, and with the cost of renovating sky-high, there's no better time to secure this sensational family home. Finally you can sit back and relax this (and every) summer. Remember to bring your togs!
