#MountainViews

Remember the 60s and 70s? That hip era when most homes were still routinely built with solid timber floors, section size was casually large, and Fleetwood Mac said that you could go your own way? Well here's your chance to capture your own sweet corner of the world and benefit from the best of times in this freshly refurbished and modernised three-bedroom home.

In spite of the new paintwork inside and out, there's still scope to give it your own personal brand of "mine". The bones are good, and the rear-site position is quiet, sunny and sheltered. An attractive open plan living room incorporating the dining area and kitchen gives way to a large north-facing deck which is going to be your go-to spot for anything involving a hot coffee, a cold beer and a specialty BBQ. Bring your growing family to a place that has room for trike races, trampoline marathons and a pohutukawa tree to climb up for better views of nearby Mountain. An attached hobbies annexe is waiting for middle-aged rock-stars to tune the bass guitar, teenagers to let loose with the Lynx or use it for the overflow when visitors are staying at Christmas.

The big double garage is a petrol-head's happy place and the location is so close to Mangere Bridge School you can almost hear the bell. With the green pastures of the Domain up the road offering a place to release over-energetic kids to run wild in, this has got to be the ideal family home for active relaxers.
