Tucked away at the end of a private road in the heart of Riverstone Terraces, 8a Garrett Place offers the kind of space families dream about - without sacrificing proximity to schools, sport, and Upper Hutt's CBD.

Set on an impressive 2.34 hectares, this solid 226sqm single-level brick and lightweight tile roof home has been fastidiously maintained by one owner and is designed for comfortable, long-term family living. With four generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, there's room for everyone to spread out while still coming together with ease.

The kitchen is the true hub of the home, complete with a dishwasher and double wall ovens, flowing seamlessly to the dining area for everyday family meals or larger gatherings. Two separate living spaces provide flexibility for growing families - one warmed by a wood burner and heat transfer system, both opening through to a private courtyard. This covered BBQ space, with a large adjacent courtyard area, is ideal for relaxed weekends, birthday parties, and long summer evenings.

High stud heights throughout the home enhance the sense of space, while practical features like the double internal-access garage (with laundry and excellent storage) make daily life easy. For families with toys, tools, or hobbies, the Totalspan second double garage with additional storage to the rear is a real bonus - perfect for a quad bike, ride-on mower, or workshop setup.

Outside, the land offers a wonderful balance of open space and natural beauty, with established native trees, bush walks to explore, and plenty of room for children to roam, build forts, or kick a ball. Two 25,000-litre water tanks support a semi-rural lifestyle, while partial double glazing adds comfort year-round. Firewood is never a problem with plenty of trees on site for years to come, and with several firewood bays already stocked for the winter nights ahead and all sourced from the property.

Despite the peaceful, semi-rural setting, you're just minutes from Upper Hutt's CBD, town schools, and everyday amenities - making this an ideal choice for families who want space, privacy, and connection in equal measure.

This is a home where children can grow, memories are made, and family life truly has room to breathe.
