33 Monarch Drive, Ashhurst, Palmerston North, Manawatu / Whanganui

Set in the bowl of a quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sac and surrounded by other quality homes, 33 Monarch Drive delivers everything there is to love about modern living - generous proportions, a thoughtful layout and an easy-care finish, all within Ashhurst’s attractive newest subdivisions.

Built in 2019 and spanning an impressive 198m2 (more or less), this is a home designed with busy family living in mind. At its heart, the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area creates a fantastic everyday hub, while a separate second lounge provides that highly sought-after extra living space, perfect for movie nights, the kids toys, or simply somewhere to retreat.

The kitchen is every bit as practical as it is stylish, with excellent storage, a generous walk in pantry, electric oven, gas hob cooking and puretec water filtration system. A timeless monochrome palette carries throughout the home, complemented by modern finishes that make this one incredibly easy to move straight into and enjoy.

Indoor living flows naturally outside to the covered entertaining area and fully fenced backyard, creating a great spot for summer barbecues, morning coffees and year-round entertaining. Sitting on an easy-care 543m2 (more or less) section, there is enough room for children and pets without your weekends being consumed by maintenance.

Four double bedrooms ensure there is space for the whole family. The master is nicely appointed with its own walk-in-wardrobe and ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a modern family bathroom featuring a bath with tiled splashback, alongside a separate toilet for everyday convenience.

A dedicated office nook provides an ideal work-from-home or homework station, and excellent storage has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout. Comfort is well taken care of with a wood burner, heat pump and heat transfer system, complemented by double glazing, wall and ceiling insulation and infinity gas water heating. The double internal-access garage incorporates the laundry and adds another layer of practicality to an already well-considered home.

Finished in low-maintenance brick and linea cladding, there is very little left to do here but settle in and enjoy. Modern, spacious and exceptionally functional, with the peace and privacy that comes from its cul-de-sac position, 33 Monarch Drive is an easy choice for families wanting more home and less upkeep.

Quality homes in settings like this are always popular, and once you step inside, it’s easy to see why.
