279 Southfield Drive Lincoln, Selwyn District

Neg Over $685,000 - This special property has become available due to new plans for the current owners who, understandably, are finding it a little hard to leave. Just six years old, designed, built, and maintained with love and care, there are so many extra features here that set this home apart. With a floor plan of 272m2 plus another 23m2 of outdoor verandah area, there is plenty of room for the whole family to spread out.

The kitchen is a delight, and well positioned to overlook both the street, the dining area and the garden, and offers a 90cm De Longhi oven along with excellent cupboard and drawer space. Four generous bedrooms, all with built in shelving in the wardrobes, the spacious master bedroom complemented by an ensuite with tiled shower and underfloor heating - this also features in the family bathroom.

Wood burners are much in demand, and even more so when fitted with a wetback. Factor in the solar water heating system as well, and you will almost look forward to your monthly power bills. Storage is often overlooked but always highly sought after, and has been well catered for here, both in the separate laundry as well as the many hallway cupboards.

Perhaps the most exceptional feature is the covered outdoor living area, so perfect for relaxing or entertaining family and friends whatever the weather. The mature grounds, which speak of hours of care and attention, are now at the stage of providing a beautiful backdrop without requiring onerous upkeep and are fully fenced for children and pets. Three car garaging completes the package, again this is frequently requested but not often available.

This is, without a doubt, a home that has been cherished by its owners, and they now present a lucky family with the opportunity to enjoy the enviable lifestyle they have so enjoyed.
