45 Darren Crescent Half Moon Bay, Manukau City

Ignore the CV - Embrace carefree living within a solid, stylish and supremely functional 1980s timber clad home, all set on a wonderfully flat and low maintenance 605m2 (more or less) section with a lovely view of neighbouring Pigeon Mountain.

Spread across an easy single level, the inviting modern kitchen with pop-out window enjoys plenty of bench space, including a handy peninsula and sits atop durable laminate flooring, ideal when raising a family of adventurous children and busy pets.

Connected living and dining share abundant sunshine and opportunity for socialising, with a cosy woodburner for the cooler months and a broad ranchslider leading to the north-facing pergola-covered entertaining deck for afternoon barbeques in the summer.

Make the most of the fully fenced section, with its desirable sunny aspect and beautiful outlook. Low maintenance and level, there is enough lawn for the pets with established plantings and a fantastic built-in fire surround on the paved patio for evening ambience.

All three bedrooms are well-proportioned and bright with built-in storage, serviced by a full family bathroom with a separate bath and shower and separate toilet.

An internal garage with new carpeting offers secure storage for weekend toys, with off street parking also available.

Boasting a chic freshly painted exterior and new lighting, this family-friendly home is appealing inside and out, peacefully located in a quiet cul de sac within easy walking distance to Pigeon Mountain Reserve and Pakuranga Domain.

Close to Half Moon Bay marina, local cafes and Highland Park Shopping Centre, and in zone for good schools including Farm Cove Intermediate and Pakuranga College, this is the ideal effortless lifestyle home.
