A private world of your own
Flower Street by name, family sanctuary by nature. Welcome to 51 Flower Street, a private lifestyle retreat set high on the hill, surrounded by established gardens, beautiful mature trees and more than 2.2 hectares of land.
From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of space and calm. The home sits beautifully within its setting, with generous lawn areas, colourful spring blossom, sheltered outdoor living and a wonderful feeling of being tucked away from the world, while still being only minutes from Fairfield School and around 10 minutes from the city via the motorway.
Inside, the approximately 340sqm home offers a flexible floor plan designed for family life. The main living area is spacious, light and welcoming, with large windows drawing in the garden outlook and multiple doors creating excellent indoor-outdoor connection. A huge woodburner with wetback and brand-new heat pump provide easy warmth, supported by insulation in the ceiling and some external walls.
The kitchen is practical and generous, with plenty of bench space, a gas cooktop and an easy connection to the dining and living zones.
Hot water is supplied by a standard electric hot water system. The light, neutral colour palette and modern loop-pile carpet give the home a fresh, contemporary feel, while its 1980s origins still bring a lovely sense of warmth and character.
Accommodation is well considered. Downstairs there are three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, serviced by a large family bathroom and separate toilet. Upstairs, the generous master suite enjoys its own private position, together with a flexible adjoining space currently used as a dressing room and office. This could just as easily become a reading room, nursery, yoga space or quiet retreat for a morning coffee.
Adding even more versatility, above the triple garage is a huge hobby and rumpus room, the ultimate kids' hangout or teenagers' retreat. Equally, it could make an awesome work-from-home space, creative studio or additional recreation room, depending on your requirements.
The current owners have carried out substantial work during their time here, including full double glazing and the removal of a significant number of trees. This has opened the property up beautifully, bringing in more light and revealing an exciting blank canvas across the upper land.
For families with children who love bikes, cross-country, outdoor adventures or simply having room to roam, the possibilities here are exceptional. The newly opened hillside offers an incredible opportunity to create something truly special.
Adding another layer of potential, the vendors have obtained resource consent for a small second dwelling to the rear of the property. This creates exciting options for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or additional income. The proposed building platform takes full advantage of the sun, position and newly revealed outlook following the removal of the trees.
Outside, the established gardens create a series of peaceful, zen-like spaces. A large wraparound deck on the north-western side, together with generous sliding and bifold doors, connects the home beautifully to the outdoors. It is easy to picture long lunches, children playing on the lawn, birds in the trees, spring blossom in full colour and quiet evenings enjoying the privacy.
Practicality is just as strong, with triple-car garaging and excellent off-street parking for multiple vehicles, alongside all the space that comes with more than 2.2 hectares. Despite its wonderfully private lifestyle setting, the property benefits from town water supply, offering a lovely balance between rural-style living and everyday convenience. Wastewater is serviced by a septic tank.
Our vendors are looking forward to their next adventures in life and, while they will be sad to say goodbye to this beautiful lifestyle retreat, they are looking forward to passing their much-loved property over to new owners on or before auction day.
With space to grow, room to explore and exciting possibilities for the future, 51 Flower Street is a very special place to call home.
To be sold by auction on 23 October, unless sold prior.
