A welcoming entrance hall leads to the living level. The spacious lounge has French doors framing bush views to Mt Mathews and the Orongorongo Ranges, with a wood burner for winter. A shoji door opens to the sunny kitchen and dining area, with a second set of French doors onto the upper deck and views to Mt Kaukau.

Off the kitchen, the extra-long, ply-lined garage includes a full laundry and workshop. It doubles as a party space in poor weather, seating up to 18 for dinner, or for table tennis. Outside, a large car pad gives off-street parking and is a lovely spot for a sunset drink.

Upstairs, three bedrooms share a generous bathroom with a large bath, shower and bush views over Huntleigh Park. Downstairs are two more bedrooms (one with room for a sitting area), a shower room, a separate WC and a dry, cool under-house store, ideal as a wine cellar.

The lower garden door opens to a covered patio perfect for morning coffee or a spa pool, before leading on to a grassy lawn and large deck for long summer lunches under the beautiful manuka tree.
