There is a secret garden at Chequers, a three-bedroom Pembroke home that is on the market for $1.375 million.

With it comes a pool, a modern kitchen and two studio apartments.

For commuters, it is only a short drive from Whitney Avenue into the centre of town.

The home is listed with Rego Sotheby’s International Realty.

“This three-bed, two-and-a-half bath home sits on 0.309 acres of land in Pembroke,” said realtor Margaret Young.

“Upon entering the property, you will be enchanted by the secret garden and large lawn with mature landscaping. The front door opens into a sizeable sunroom, and large foyer area. Off the foyer is the spacious, formal living room with a large fireplace and the modern kitchen, which is open plan to include an eating area and den.

“This area also opens on to a large, raised patio and pool area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. On the second level you will find the master bedroom with en suite, as well as two smaller bedrooms, one of which has access to a generous balcony. This property also features two studio apartments located under the main house.”

The home has “good proportioned rooms and high ceilings” and water views over North Shore.

According to Ms Young, the studio adjacent to the entrance hall “could easily be reincorporated with the main house”.
