4 Binda Place, Botany Downs, Manukau City

Embrace the classic Kiwi lifestyle, but make it modern! Elevated and set back from the street, this beautifully updated 1970s home ticks all the boxes for savvy families, with its huge backyard, stylish renovations and distinctly mid-century feel.

Open plan living is filled with natural light thanks to its epic indoor-outdoor flow to two decks - one front and one back - ensuring you can follow the sun throughout the day. At its centre is a crisp, contemporary and practical renovated kitchen with breakfast bar for busy mornings.

Enjoy an evening drink on the elevated front deck or take the festivities to the vast rear deck, perfect for spending all summer dining al fresco and sparking up the barbecue while the kids play on the massive flat lawn. Made for family life, think backyard cricket, trampolines, pets, parties and plenty of room for the kids to burn off some energy.

Three double bedrooms are complemented by a tiled, renovated bathroom and the everyday practicality of two toilets. There is also a separate laundry and fantastic storage throughout.

The single garage is currently being utilised as a home office and kids' playroom, adding welcome flexibility for work and play. A separate storage room offers another useful space with potential to serve as a compact study.

Set across 746sqm of freehold land on a quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sac, the location keeps parks, supermarkets, everyday amenities and the eastern beaches within easy reach, and you are also in zone for Botany Downs School, Howick Intermediate and Howick College.

With plenty of off street parking, families will love this solid and sunny home with so much room to spread out and enjoy. Early viewing is recommended.
