Ararimu villa lifestyle

Sun-soaked and immaculately presented, this classic, modernized 3 double bedroom villa on 5.15ha offers a stylish, easy lifestyle.

Set back off the road amidst 11 tidy paddocks and professionally landscaped gardens, a wisteria-laden pergola leads you up to the verandah and front entrance. Expansive decking extends to capture all-day sun and invites you to simply relax and enjoy the peaceful views over the garden.

Although retaining its classic villa character, this impressive 217m2 home is striking in the way recent renovations have focused on embracing the light, adding large windows and stacker doors opening out to the deck and the sun. The gracious natural appeal of the interior is enhanced with a crisp modern palette blending with polished native timber floors and joinery.

The spacious north-facing open-plan kitchen and dining flow through to a separate lounge with a woodburner and sunny windowseat. Polished floors and high ceilings lead down wide hallways to two double bedrooms at the far end of the house. The master bedroom is separate and private, with a walk-in-wardrobe, en-suite and doors leading out to a private deck overlooking views of the large pond.

Meticulously maintained, the gardens feature dry stone walls and specimen trees to reflect the classic beauty and charm of the character villa. A freestanding double garage extends through to a large shed, providing ample storage for firewood and lifestyle equipment.

With its peaceful location sited for sunshine and privacy, this is truly a beautiful country home ready for you to simply move in and enjoy. Popular Ararimu School is only 3kms away, 10kms to the motorway and the Stevensons Development is underway, offering growth and opportunities to the area, including shops, a business park, and a Park & Ride railway station.
