112A Mt Herbert Road, Waipukurau, Central Hawke's Bay, Hawke's Bay

From the moment you arrive, you sense this is no ordinary property. Every detail, inside and out, has been thoughtfully designed to curate a home and garden that is as functional as it is beautiful. At the heart of the expansive living spaces is a stunning kitchen with generous bench space, exceptional storage with clever pull-out pantry systems, quality appliances, including a double door fridge with ice maker, large breakfast bar, and a bi-fold window opening wide to the covered outdoor entertaining area and gardens beyond. A second "summer" lounge with formal dining area is bathed in sunlight and opens through sliders on two sides to multiple outdoor entertaining areas. There are four double bedrooms, all with large wardrobes, and the master suite is a luxurious retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and beautifully tiled ensuite featuring a double shower. There is excellent storage throughout, including smart wardrobe systems, attic space in the garage, and inbuilt cabinetry in both the dedicated office and separate laundry. Winter comfort is ensured with a freestanding Masport wood burner, heat pump, heat transfer system, and gas hot water. And then there are the grounds. Quite simply, they are magnificent. Stunning, established gardens showcase raised vegetable and herb beds, an impressive variety of pip, stone, and citrus fruit trees where every season brings something new to enjoy, and sweeping lawns framed by mature plantings, along with a garden shed, woodshed, storage container, potting table, and shade house. A meandering seasonal stream, crossed by two charming bridges and safely fenced from the main lawn, creates a tranquil backdrop to the completely private back garden. An optional above-ground pool, swing set, and pirate ship-themed playhouse promise endless enjoyment for children or grandchildren alike. Nestled well back from the road in a premium location, to the left is an easy stroll along the footpath to town. Head right and you connect directly to interlinking limestone trails, the mountain bike park, and river reserve. Rarely does a property delivering this level of completeness come to market. Prepare to be impressed!
