Behind the secure gate and striking black facade, this modern 2017-built cottage is anything but ordinary. Bold in its street presence and smart in its layout, this three-bedroom home is the epitome of low-maintenance living with a high-impact aesthetic.

A verandah frames the front entry, setting the tone for what’s to come - considered design, effortless comfort, and total ease.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge form the social heart of the home - light-filled, easy to live in, and perfect for entertaining or winding down.

Comfort is dialled up year-round with double glazing, a heat pump, comprehensive insulation, and a gas infinity hot water system delivering constant flow on demand.

The Jack and Jill bathroom is smartly connected, supported by an additional toilet and generous laundry with excellent storage.

Outside, it’s fully fenced and secure, with easy-care gardens, a garden shed, and the potential to enhance if you’ve got a green thumb. Two off-street car parks, with the ability to park a campervan, complete the package. Positioned near the renowned Tupare Gardens (1.5km), Merrilands Shopping Centre (1.1km), and the ever-popular Pikopiko Eatery (2km), this home also enjoys proximity to the sought-after Mangorei School (1.7km).
