12 Palmetto Place, Goodwood Heights, Manukau City, Auckland

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and surrounded by lush bush scenery and expansive lawns, this two-storey home on a 946m² freehold section offers the quietness of a rural setting in a convenient location - the best of both worlds. With 5 bedrooms, multiple living areas, and a family-friendly layout, it's the perfect place to create lasting memories.

The upper level is the hub of the home, featuring a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that flows seamlessly to the wrap-around deck - ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. A separate family lounge with French doors opens to the deck and a peaceful spa pool, creating a special retreat where everyone can unwind. Year-round comfort is ensured with three heat pumps and a Kent log fire.

Upstairs also provides four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a generous master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A separate laundry and excellent storage, including attic space, make family living easy and practical.

The lower level offers a fifth bedroom - perfect for teenagers or guests - along with a double internal-access garage and workshop, plus a single carport and extra off-street parking.

Outdoors, children and pets will love the fully fenced, flat front yard and big lawns, while the multi-level entertaining areas make it easy to host family and friends.

All this comes with the bonus of a superb location - within walking distance to Everglade Primary School, Totara Park, and local shops, with easy motorway access, public transport, Westfield Manukau, Ormiston Town Centre, and the Auckland Botanic Gardens all close by.
