6 Fernly Rise Flat Bush, Manukau City

Spread over three levels, this modern home gives families so much choice in how they adapt it to their unique needs. In a thriving and vibrant community, this Fernly Rise home is the pick for contemporary city living.

The four-bedroom freestanding home has been designed to give you versatility. The lower floor has a double bedroom and lounge, which both open up to the garden, and a separate bathroom. Why not bring in a flattie, let older teens experience some independence, move grandma in or keep it ready for guests?

• Maximising outdoor enjoyment, it has two balconies to make the most of the sun throughout the day, and a tidy, lush fully-fenced garden with a patio
• The three further bedrooms are on the top floor, offering excellent separation; the master has an en-suite, while the remaining two share a bathroom
• The open-plan living space on the middle floor acts as the hub, with casual dining options at the breakfast bar
• A study off the lounge futureproofs this home and is an extra luxury
• It has a single internal access garage plus off-street parking space
