Kilbirnie

<b>BEST OF BOTH WORLDS</b> As featured in New Zealand Homestyle Magazine June/July 2009 This rural estate is only for the discerning, set on 1.5 hectares plus a share of the adjoining native reserve. This property boasts an architecturally designed contemporary home and a large self-contained workshop. The home has a three car-garage attached by a walkway. The house has a distinct industrial feel, with the Shadowclad Ply and Zincalume corrugated cladding. Polished concrete floors throughout continue this theme. The floor area of the house is 327m2 and features four bedrooms, large open plan living areas and three bathrooms. The workshop has an area of 100m2 The views over the native bush reserve and rural farmland have not been compromised, and all areas of the house have an unobstructed view. Large deck areas compliment the living areas and a private north-facing patio area allows for family barbeques. The workshop is ideal for the man of the house, to operate a business from home, or use as an extra rental income. This property is only 5 minutes' drive to Howick, yet boasts a distinctly rural feel and allows the owner to enjoy the best of both worlds. A rare combination of architectural elegance and rural lifestyle.
