14 Elwyn Close Flat Bush, Manukau City

So, we asked the current owners of this lovely brick and weatherboard what they liked about their home and this is what they said. The neighbourhood is a pleasure. It's a relief to come home to the quiet and the green. The shops in Chapel Road are so close, Botany is a five-minute drive, Barry Curtis Park is a three-minute drive, walking tracks off Gracechurch Drive are perfect for walking and running. The Cyril French reserve at the end of the street is great - the kid's park is very nice and the footpath around the reserve is really good for kids to ride bikes. There are quite a few kids between the house and the park and in summer, they come out and play in the street and at the park. It's on the bus route for St Kents too. The Middlefield Drive bus stop is really good and it goes in both directions to Botany and Manukau. The proximity to the daycare and Baverstock Primary is a real bonus. Despite it being so close to stuff, it is really, really quiet.

It's an easy house to live in. It's brick and tile, no plaster. The section is big for around here, and it feels like there are three gardens - the washing line/veggie garden, the kid's trampoline area (the trampoline will go to the new owner we hope) and the sitting area for the adults. We have really tried to keep up to date with maintenance. For those who are security conscious, there is a panic button in the master bedroom and also the ranch sliders all have deadbolts. The house is big and there is heaps of storage - the hot water cupboard is huge, the kitchen has lots of storage, the garage, the wardrobes, the laundry is fantastic! We have never had issues with the neighbours. The shared driveway has turned out to be a non-event. We have never been blocked in and we can park about six cars easily. In summer when the trees are full of leaves and birds we can open up the ranch sliders and it's like living in a garden. The house has been a real home and we think the next family will be very happy here. Call to discuss and to arrange a time to view.
