138 Akatarawa Road Birchville, Upper Hutt City

Surrounded by rimu, oak, totara and kowhai trees, this is a brand new sustainable home, close to town but in a picturesque bush setting. Proudly a Fraemohs home, it's been built with sustainably-grown Aotearoa plantation pine to be carbon-negative, and healthy to live in. Designed for maximum solar gain to minimise energy consumption and with quality fixtures and fittings built to last, this Scandinavian style home ensures timelessness that you'll love to live in for years to come.

With three bedrooms and two bathrooms this home has wide appeal. The open plan living space has a beautifully sunny aspect, but maintains the coziness of a timber home with a clean-burning Ethos woodfire complete with wetback and heat transfer system. The kitchen is a modern country style, with Early Settler cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, and a scullery. The master suite is large, with space for a study nook if you choose, a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite and sliding doors out to the courtyard space and gardens.

Outside, this home sits upon a low maintenance section, but benefits from established native trees. It features raised veggie beds and fruit trees, and with the addition of an outdoor dining suite would pose the perfect place for an al fresco lunch. Situated in Birchville, it's close to parks, public transport and is near Birchville School. It's also in prime position for many popular local swimming spots at the river.
