Long lunches, relaxed barbecues and evenings with friends find their place at 87 Huntington Drive, where a newly completed pergola over the rear deck has added real depth to an already substantial family home.
Originally built by a builder as his own family home, the house shows that care in its proportions and layout. Set on a fully fenced 750sqm section (more or less), this five-bedroom residence offers approximately 300sqm of space, with room to gather and room to retreat. Established gardens and tall hedging provide a settled backdrop to life indoors and out.
A high stud brings volume to the open-plan family and dining area, while the adjoining kitchen offers generous bench space and storage. A separate lounge gives the household a second place to unwind, with both living areas opening directly to the rear deck.
Here, the new pergola creates a sheltered setting for outdoor dining and lounging, with built-in seating along the lawn's edge. There is space to host a crowd without losing the easy connection between kitchen, living rooms and garden. It is an inviting setting for an ordinary weeknight dinner, and an even better one when there is no reason to hurry inside.
Upstairs, the main suite enjoys a level of its own, complete with a private balcony, walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite. Four further bedrooms sit downstairs, including a guest bedroom with direct access to the family bathroom. A separate powder room adds convenience when entertaining.
An oversized triple garage with a new door and motor, newly carpeted and with internal access, sits alongside a workshop, separate laundry and ample storage. The large front yard adds plenty of off-street parking, with room for a boat or caravan as well as visitors' cars. Ducted heating, a heat pump, underfloor heating and gas hot water support everyday comfort, while selected interior areas have been freshly painted.
Chartwell shopping centre, local parks and gully walks are within easy reach, with convenient access to the Waikato Expressway.
This is a home that gives family life space to unfold, and every gathering room to last a little longer.
