16 Karu Crescent, Waikanae

In the heart of Waikanae's Garden Area, 16 Karu Crescent sits down a private driveway that gives little away as to the expansive property that awaits. Situated in the center of Karu Crescent, there is a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy, yet with all the village amenities on your doorstep. An open-plan kitchen and dining room with skylights offering a flood of light, flows into the living room with the chapel ceilings further enhancing the feeling of space. The living room is cosy and warm, thanks to the large heat pump and wood burner and the home benefits from full insulation and near full double glazing. This space opens out to the large patio that converts into an outdoor room to be enjoyed in all seasons. The three bedrooms offer flexible living, with two doubles and a single that is currently utilised as a home office, all with external access. A modern family bathroom, separate laundry and abundance of storage complete the main house. The fully fenced section has been a labour of love and is a beautiful, relaxing space that benefits from all-day sun. There are high yielding fruit trees, vegetable beds, a top of the range greenhouse, and expansive lawn area. There is excellent off-street parking and a large, fully powered double garage, but the piece de resistance is the self-contained unit sitting above the garage, complete with kitchenette and bathroom. It has been a hugely successful AirBNB, being just a short walk to transport links and Waikanae village and is perfect for commuting or a base for visiting friends or family. For those seeking to work or run their business from home, it is fully wired to do so and the perfect way to strike that work life balance by being separate from the main house. The studio offers so many options, and would be ideal for wider family, a sleepout, or art studio to name a few. If you seek a serene, versatile setting but with creature comforts close at hand, 16 Karu Crescent is sure to appeal. ...
