From the moment you step inside, 84 Mount Taylor Drive feels different. Light pours through, the finishes are crisp and considered, and every room leads you towards the outdoors. The secret is the aspect. This home faces fully north, and bifold doors run down the entire side of the house, so sunshine fills the ground floor from morning to evening. Under 2.7-metre ceilings, the lounge, family room, dining, and kitchen flow together, bright and airy in every season. Open the bifolds and the living spaces spill onto a private patio, hedged in green and covered by a large pergola. There’s an outdoor fireplace/pizza oven for cool evenings and relaxed weekend feasts, a spa for winding down, and room for a long table full of friends. Summer entertaining, sorted. The kitchen is sleek and sophisticated, with a dark granite bench, pendant lighting, and plenty of room for the barstools to fill up. Plantation shutters and soft neutral tones keep everything calm and bright. A second living space with a gas fireplace and plush carpet gives the household somewhere to spread out or retreat. Upstairs, four bedrooms surround a generous landing that’s yours to use however you like: a rumpus room, a second TV room, a homework zone, or a home office. The master suite is a true retreat, with a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish ensuite finished in marble-look tiles with a glass shower and a brushed brass rain shower. The family bathroom has been given the same polished update and adds a freestanding bath, perfect for a long soak at the end of the day. Downstairs also offers a handy powder room, a home office (or fifth bedroom) opening to a front deck, a laundry, and internal access to the double garage. Crossfield Reserve is just down the road, Glendowie Primary and Glendowie College are close by, and Te Taurere (Taylor Hill) watches over the neighbourhood. It’s an easy, lovely place to raise a family.
