23 Fjord Way Karaka, Franklin

Some homes offer space. Others offer style. This one delivers both, wrapped in a setting with a lake backdrop that captures the relaxed lifestyle Karaka is renowned for.

Positioned in one of Karaka's most tightly held streets, this exceptional home enjoys a level of privacy that's increasingly hard to find. With only two direct neighbours and a reserve stretching out behind the property to a lake's edge, you'll wake each day to peaceful green vistas rather than another row of homes.

Designed to adapt effortlessly to every stage of family life, the layout is as practical as it is impressive. A beautifully appointed ground-floor master room with its own ensuite provides the perfect space for extended family, guests or those seeking single-level living. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite creates a luxurious parents' retreat, complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully finished ensuite.

Multiple living zones ensure everyone has room to spread out, with two separate lounges complemented by a third snug retreat that provides the perfect space to unwind, work from home or simply escape with a good book.

At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen, with a fully equipped scullery that boasts a secondary cooktop, overlooks the open-plan living and dining area, creating a natural hub for everyday life and effortless entertaining.

Outdoor living has been thoughtfully designed for every season. A covered side deck extends from the dining area, creating an inviting alfresco space complete with drop-down privacy screens, allowing you to entertain comfortably all year round. To the rear, expansive decking and low-maintenance astro turf provide the perfect place to relax or for the children to play while taking in uninterrupted views across the reserve and tranquil lake beyond.

Located within easy reach of Hingaia Peninsula School, ACG Strathallan, local cafes, motorway connections and the growing amenities that make Karaka one of Auckland's most desirable suburbs, this is a home that delivers the lifestyle every family dreams of.

Offering exceptional versatility, a rare reserve and lake outlook, and a floor plan designed for modern living, this is a property that will leave a lasting impression from the moment you arrive.
