Family Dream-Home in Gisborne's Finest Pocket
Both a tranquil country getaway and lifestyle prize with the town centre just steps away, this Edwardian-inspired modern construction is, without question, one of Gisborne's finest residences and the perfect home for a family to lay roots, grow into, and make memories.
Framed by lush gardens to form a picture-perfect street stance, a charming façade steps through a feature mother-and-son door to introduce interiors with all the space a family could ever ask for.
A magnificent front master boasts walk-in and built-in robes, a chic ensuite with twin basins, electric fireplace for cosy winter nights, and leafy outlooks to wake to, joined by a flexible front lounge/guest room, robe-lined third and fourth bedrooms, a fifth bedroom/nursery, two lavish central bathrooms, and a lofted, versatile space with potential to be the ultimate home cinema.
Just as sublime for a quiet night in as it is any large gathering, an open entertainer's suite sees sun-soaked living and dining zones flank a gourmet kitchen tailor-made for the passionate cook, with swathes of striking granite complemented by a walk-in pantry, boiling/ chilled/sparkling Billi tap, Westinghouse cooker, double DishDrawer, and servery windows to a first-rate alfresco.
A built-in barbecue kitchen, bar heaters, ceiling fans, and an electric fireplace enliven everything from Sunday afternoons with the family to evening drinks alongside friends, while rich greenery, total privacy, and all-day rays prove stellar counterparts to the backyard's feature mineral pool.
With its own side access to be an attractive short-stay rental, a fully fitted backyard guest house sees two generous bedrooms accompanied by heating/cooling, walk-in robes, a stylish bathroom with dual basins, broad living and dining areas, a home workspace, and kitchen/laundry with a gas cooker and dishwasher.
Equipped to deliver first-class living long into the future, other highlights include 20 solar panels, natural wool carpets, comprehensive heating and cooling, LED accent lighting, plantation shutters, substantial attic space, hallway wainscoting, a built-in bar with a wine fridge, backlit wine display case, gas heating and a fountain to the pool, fully lit and irrigated gardens, a backyard cubbyhouse, full-size laundry, double garage, and electric-gated parking for a boat, caravan, trailer, and several extra cars.
A masterclass in practical luxe spanning its own quarter-acre, 'Magnolia House' is just metres from the local golf course, Gisborne and St Brigid's Primary Schools, acres of creek-side parkland, the free community bus, and town centre's cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and pubs, with the Calder streamlining commutes across town and the surrounding ranges.
