Presented to an impeccable standard, this Forrest Hill family retreat offers four bedrooms, two living areas and an office. Originally built in the '60s, the solid plaster render home sits within well-established, landscaped grounds and boasts a sunny and private in-ground swimming pool complex. The neighbourhood is positioned in the highly sought-after double Westlake zone and is close to local shops, motorway onramps and the many parks, beaches and sports fields located in and around this coveted area. An elevated position up a driveway affords the north-facing property excellent light and sun, which floods into the alfresco living areas. The residence has been extensively renovated in recent times, which has included a restored roof, exterior and interior paint and the creation of the smart, contemporary aesthetic inside. On entry level, the lounge has a wood fire, which is complemented by the ducted central heating and cooling system throughout. The new kitchen boasts stone bench tops and a butler's pantry, which has a wine fridge and great storage. All-season entertaining is a pleasure, with these rooms flowing out to the covered deck, which has convenient pull-down café blinds. Mature Pohutukawa trees are home to abundant birdlife and frame the section, with the swimming pool enveloped within vibrant tropical plantings. There are separate areas of lawn around the outside, which are perfect for the trampoline and kids and pets to play safely. Three light-filled bedrooms upstairs are serviced by the family bathroom with bath, while the master enjoys its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Downstairs, the large second lounge has its own outdoor access and makes the ideal media room or rumpus. The office, internal garage access and spotless workshop are also located down here. After 14 years raising their children to adulthood here, the vendors have purchased and are starting a new chapter out of the area.
