37 Riverside Drive, Waiuku, Franklin

Overlooking the reserve and waterway, this three-level home solves the one problem most houses never quite manage: where to put it all. From the double internal access garage to the dedicated storage rooms throughout, and the under-stair storage, this is a property built for families who have outgrown their last home and the gear that came with it.On the ground floor you will find a genuine point of difference: a separate level with its own office, a large rumpus room, a double garage with sectional door access, and further under-house storage. This level alone gives you the flexibility to run a business from home, set up a teenage retreat, or simply store the boat, bikes and beach gear without it taking over the rest of the house.Up on the main living level, the designer kitchen and dining flow out to a covered deck with drop-down blinds, ideal for entertaining regardless of the weather, with a step-down lounge opening straight off the open-plan kitchen and dining space. Down the hallway, away from the main living area, a second lounge offers a quieter retreat of its own, opening onto two decks: one shared with the master suite looking out over the water and reserve, and another leading down a few steps to a raised garden and clothesline, or back around to the covered deck. The master comes with a walk-in robe and access to the family bathroom and a separate toilet, and a hidden laundry keeps the everyday clutter out of sight. Tucked behind the wall of the second lounge is yet another storage room, while a handy storage space is tucked under the stairs.On the top floor, three further bedrooms share the level, each with built-in robes, serviced by a family bathroom, plus a small office nook and a dedicated storage room the kids will no doubt claim as their own secret hideout.Outside, the paved driveway offers ample off-street parking, with room for a trailer, caravan or motorhome alongside the cars, plus space for visitors, all within an easy stroll of Sandspit Road School and the Waiuku walking path to Tamakae Reserve.Properties with this much considered, purpose-built storage rarely come up in Waiuku, and when they do, they don't last. If a home that finally has room for everyone and everything sounds like exactly what your family needs, don't wait to find out who else has spotted it first.Call Erin now to book your viewing before this one is gone.
