Life is busy. There’s work, school, sport, friends and everything else that fills the week - but you still want your home to feel like somewhere you can slow down.
Welcome to 12 Lancewood Lane, Kaukapakapa - a modern family home with space to come together, room to spread out and a private, sunny yard that’s big enough to genuinely enjoy.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is big, light and wonderfully relaxed. High ceilings create a fabulous sense of space, while polished concrete floors and large sliders opening onto the north-facing deck make everyday living and entertaining easy.
And when everyone needs a little room of their own, the separate media room is such a bonus. Movie room, playroom, home office or somewhere for the teenagers - it’s a space that can change as your family does.
And as gorgeous as this home is, it’s also incredibly practical. There are four double bedrooms, including a generous master with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, along with a family bathroom and separate powder room. The double internal-access garage includes attic storage and a large workbench, giving you a proper place for bikes, tools, sports gear and everything else that comes with family life.
Outside, the fenced section gives children and pets somewhere to play, with plenty of room for a trampoline and a few raised vegie gardens. There’s enough space to enjoy life outside, without so much land that your weekends disappear into maintaining it.
And there is plenty to love about living in Kaukapakapa. It has that genuine village feel, where weekends might mean wandering through the local market, heading out for a bush walk, playing a round at the nearby Helensville Golf Club or meeting friends for lunch or dinner at the newly reopened Kaukapakapa Hotel, now Shed 16.
Kaukapakapa School caters for Years 1–8, while Helensville and Waimauku are within easy reach for shops, cafés and everyday essentials. When you need to head further afield, Albany and the North Shore are approximately 30 minutes away in normal traffic.
It’s a little more relaxed, with a little more breathing room, and still well connected to the places you need to be.
With the owners moving south, this is a genuine opportunity to secure a modern home that works beautifully for family life now and for years to come. #lovewhereyoulive
