627B Manukau Road Epsom, Auckland City

Feeling recently like you need to reclaim life on your terms? A place where quality is a given and leisure time comes free? This Hamptons-inspired townhouse is destined to be your luxury retreat - whether it's as your year-round home or a city-based home-away-from-home.

Almost new, very sunny and double glazed for warmth and sound-proofing, it's tucked away off the road in an exclusive enclave with two other neighbouring residences. The temptation to move in and do no more than just chill out is surely too good to pass up.

Two storey layout comprises a large open plan ground floor showcasing generous living areas underpinned by wide-gauge timber-style flooring for a timeless vibe. The elegant designer kitchen is bound to make your heart beat a little faster. There's plenty on hand to boost your culinary reputation whether it's entertaining for an informal cocktail hour around the stone-top bench or spending pizza nights dining alfresco out on the deck with a few good Otago reds to wash it all down. Upstairs the soft grey colour palette is a restful backdrop for the accommodation of three double bedrooms with the intimate master quarters featuring walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The TV room could be a fourth bedroom or provides a welcome second lounge for binge-series marathons in winter. Furthermore, the fully-tiled main family bathroom has a tub, separate shower and underfloor heating.

A 20-minute commute into Auckland's CBD by car or jump on one of the regular buses. Close to the eateries at Greenwoods Corner, Royal Oak or in Newmarket on the rare occasion you want to give the kitchen a break. With Cornwall Park over the road for doggie frolics or your regular fitness workout, this fabulous townhouse simply takes your life to the next level.
