Noumea Drive, Rangatira Park, Northland

Aesthetically elegant and soaking in sunshine, this single level residence on a corner site sits surrounded by picturesque, landscaped grounds. Joining other prestigious properties on a well-manicured leafy thoroughfare, this Rangatira Park home is lifestyle living at its very best. The serenity and low maintenance features add up to an exceptional opportunity for down-sizing empty nesters, retirees and those looking for the perfect lock-and-leave holiday retreat. 

A well illuminated interior feels airy and spacious with north facing aspect inviting lots of sun and high raked ceilings in the elegant sitting and dining areas adding volume and spatial generosity. The gas fireplace is a cosy and attractive focal point while vistas beyond the double-glazed windows take in the alluring, ever-changing colours and patterns of lovingly tended grounds. Sliding doors open onto a sheltered patio where alfresco meals can be enjoyed in the shade of trees during the region's hot summers. 

The open plan kitchen integrates well-appointed stone-topped island bench, stainless steel appliances and plentiful cabinetry while the dining area doubles down on warmth with a heat pump. Three double bedrooms share two modern bathrooms including a family version integrating smoky grey tiles surrounding the bathtub and master ensuite repeating the same floor tiles. 

An internal access double garage shares one wall with the neighbour and has useful overhead storage reached by drop down loft ladder. Highly sought after for its proximity to the centre of town, the freehold 493sqm (more or less) property is zoned for good schools and a short walk to Rangatira Park lookout for astonishing clear day vistas of both mountains and the lake.
