The kids have flown the coop, and our downsizing vendors have given us clear instructions to sell.

Sitting within a desirable pocket of Westmere, this modern 2013 built home offers all of the contemporary comforts you want for your family combined with understated soulful character, quality specification, green surrounds, northern sunshine and a gentle coastal connection.

An appealing weatherboard exterior connects to the welcoming interior, with a warmly familiar ambiance. The charming hand-crafted doorway and central hallway lead to a home with unique appointments that give this home a special touch for those seeking artful opulence and a European feel.

The generous floorplan has perfectly balanced spaces suitable whether you have little ones or teenagers. There is plenty of room and flexibility for spending time together, as well as quiet nooks for study or work from home. Open plan living provides a relaxed backdrop to daily routines and bifold doors open to the sunny deck and barbeque area, an enchanting spot for alfresco unwinding with friends on summer evenings. Arranged around a concrete island with breakfast bar that is cast under pendant lighting, the edgy industrial-style kitchen caters to gourmet cooks with premium stainless-steel appliances. From here, you'll be able to easily keep an eye on the children playing safely in the secure North-West facing backyard while you prepare the evening meal.

The ground floor bedrooms, all with wardrobes, share a large, tiled family bathroom and separate guest powder room. Upstairs, the master suite is a private retreat-like space incorporating a reading area, ensuite and plentiful storage. Serene views to the Waitemata complete the picture here.

You'll love being part of this vibrant community, an ideal location, conveniently close to popular cafes, parks, terrific seaside boardwalks, the famous Westmere Butcher, and great schools.
