27 Sophia Street, Glenholme

This much-treasured home has been in the same family for some 52 years. Over time, it's been extended and fine-tuned to become the residence it is today. Full of geothermal comfort, the property has its own down-hole heat exchanger, a commodity that is highly sought after due to its superb eco-efficient benefits. Radiators throughout the house provide year-round heating and keep power bills low. Brilliantly laid out for family living, the home has three bedrooms, a bathroom and play area upstairs, and a peaceful ensuite master bedroom downstairs. A bathroom with a separate shower and powder room serves the guest bedroom, and both master and guest room have oodles of storage. Ideal for entertainers and relaxed everyday living, the home offers separate dining, lounge, and family rooms. The main lounge and breakfast area in the rimu kitchen overlook the pool and garden area, making it easy to keep an eye on outdoor activities. A significant, full-size office gazes over the attractive front garden driveway area. Work from home looks good here. The thermally heated, in-ground saltwater pool, barbecue area, enclosed spa pool room and powder room give the backyard a resort-like vibe. There's no having to go indoors to change, as facilities are at hand. A workshop and mudroom feature in the standalone double garage. The home is a mix of stucco and cedar shingle, crowned by a mostly clay tile roof. New owners have scope to add their own touches. A superb location and thermal qualities rate this residential lifestyle property highly. ...
