The Chocolate Box

Stephanie Perkins once wrote: Home isn't a place. It is a person. And for the vast majority of us there couldn't be a more true, honest statement. It has always been said that home is where the heart is', and our heart and soul could live at 148 Upland Road. The home brings back memories of childhood, and of the Chocolate-Box Houses' depicted on every box of chocolates. With its stunning shingle exterior, its French windows and 1920's style construction, this charming home has it all. With three bedrooms and one bathroom, the home is perfect for a young couple looking to start a family or a young family looking for a more central location. The home boasts a double garage offering both storage and parking, while the private outdoor patio allows for relaxed, true-blue Kiwi summer parties, or for more intimate dinners for two. The cottage itself has the romanticism that one can only picture while reading Jane Austen or Beatrix Potter, and its ideal location in the heart of the Double Grammar Zone, minutes away from the lovely Benson Road village and deli, gives it an irresistible appeal. Why not start this year with a beautiful cottage tucked away in box hedges, camellias and gardenias? Be in quick! Opportunities like this don't come around every day; to paraphrase Ferris Bueller, Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!
