Set in a tranquil, gardened 3060m² this home enjoys a sundrenched northerly aspect which is sheltered from the southerly winds to create its own micro-climate. Of course with this natural aspect comes many species of bird life and an orchard full of fruit trees - banana, guava, passionfruit and blueberry plus the more traditional stone fruit & citrus trees found in Auckland's gardens. The visiting birds include Kereru, Tui, Kaka, Pheasant, Lorikeet, Piwakawaka and Quail.
The home has two levels with the casual and formal living areas on the upper level with the master bedroom, office and spare bedroom. On the lower level there is a bathroom, two bedrooms plus workshop and soundproof single garage. There is also an additional carport adjacent to the front door.
Our vendor says he has enjoyed his twenty years of coming home to this style of living , "away from the hustle and bustle of urban living and once he headed down Whitford Road from Somerville roundabout to the wide open rural spaces it was like turning off the clock, leaving the stresses of the day behind".
This property is located only 10 minutes from both Botany and Howick. The Whitford Village restaurants and Cafes are just minutes away. It is zoned for Howick schools for your children and the property is on the School Bus route. Whitford is a bastion for the sporting family with Whitford Pony Club, two golf courses, tennis courts and wonderful recreational trails. A short drive away is the Pine Harbour Marina, managed mountain bike trail and the Maraetai Beach Boating Club.
