Modern family living with a rural lifestyle

October 27, 2016

IF you have been looking for a usable lifestyle block with a great family home, look no further than this ultra-modern home, just a short drive from Invercargill’s city centre, in Kennington.

The home is stunning; and at only six years old is modern and comfortable throughout. It includes matching quality carpets, curtains and modern tiling in each of the bathrooms, including the separate guest toilet, and kitchen floors.

There are four bedrooms, three of which are double in size, and include double wardrobing with built-in shelving. The master bedroom is extra-spacious and includes a walk-in wardrobe with a built-in make-up counter. The master bedroom also has an en suite, with underfloor heating, a vanity, a large glass-wall and tiled shower, as well as a toilet. There is also an access point which opens onto the large north-facing concrete patio.

In the family areas, the kitchen, dining and main living is open plan – with a second living area through adjoining wall-pocket doors.

The kitchen includes soft-close cabinetry and stainless steel Fisher & Paykel appliances. There is plenty of bench space, including a central breakfast bar. The nearby dining space has access through bi-fold doors onto the concrete patio, perfect for indoor/outdoor flow for the coming summer months.

The family bathroom has a spa bath, a glass-enclosed shower unit, a vanity and toilet, plus heated flooring. There is also a good-sized laundry, plus an attached double garage with two internal access points.

There are some sophisticated extras with this home, including the solar-power hot water system, hallway sensor lighting, and a heat pump ceiling air conditioner unit.

Set on two hectares (five acres) of well-drained land, complete with fencing and some established shelter, this is the perfect setting for those wanting somewhere to run a few sheep or keep a horse.
