18a Patons Road Howick, Manukau City

Designed for the modern family on the go, this four-bedroom property has the space and serenity needed to reconnect after a busy week out and about.

Generous in both proportions and light, the airy contemporary kitchen is centred around the extra-large entertainer's oven. Have your guests park up at the breakfast bar while you whip up your favourite dishes.

Feed the masses from the open dining space and spread out across the warm living zone. There is an extra rumpus room that can be closed off when the kids are getting rowdy, giving grown-ups the remaining space to chat in peace or peel back the bi-fold doors to dine al fresco on the large sunny deck, with enough grass to impress the family dog.

Upstairs is committed to calm, taking in the views across the treetops. Three bedrooms on this level include the master, which is home to a massive ensuite with full height tiling and a huge walk-in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by an equally impressive full family bathroom, with cohesive tiling for a refined finish, and a third bathroom downstairs for visiting guests, along with the fourth bedroom.

Private, peaceful and set far back from the road, the double internal garage provides plenty of additional space for storage, with extra off-street parking for another two vehicles.

A superb location close to local shopping and amenities and the abundance of Eastern Bays beaches on offer, Howick has a thriving café culture with markets, parks and reserves all available for your enjoyment.

Viewing by appointment. Private Viewings for this property will operate without My Vaccine Pass.
