Forge the future, but keep small secrets from the past.

Secluded privacy in the heart of Double Grammar zone, excellent local schools and room for everyone. Our vendors fell in love with this 1970's architectural treasure 8 years ago, and embarked on an impressive all over renovation in 2011. Immaculately presented for the new owner, this home has found the perfect balance between lifestyle and practicality.

The large designer kitchen is ideal for entertaining; generous granite bench space and multiple Miele appliances make it both desirable and functional. A clever built in fridge also stays with the home. With multiple balcony and courtyard options, you can follow the sun and admire your symphony of daily birdlife - on good authority Tui, Kereru and Fantail.

With an oversized gas heated pool there will be no 4 strokes before you tumble-turn here. The school team could in fact train here, lapping up its history as the original pool for the Manor house behind. Complete with rejuvenated changing rooms and modern utilities - the original pool pump has been kept on display.

The downstairs rumpus/teenage retreat/extended family room with ensuite and pool access has brought various solutions over the years, and is currently being used for Pilates. A purpose-built office and a delightful elevated sitting room are both pleasant bonuses. A sizeable flat lawn and private bush area with sturdy treehouse complete the entertainment areas and ensure the children may just be busy all day.

There is gas central heating, an internal access double garage combined with ample storage - as you would expect from classic 1970's architecture.

But most of all this family home is for those that just want to get on with creating those family memories the chance is now.
