Bays' properties of significant size, zoning and outlook in a privately positioned location are uncommonly hard to secure. This, at 885 sqm (approx) land size comes to the market after nearly five decades under the same family ownership pushing its cachet to another level of rarity. The window of opportunity just clicked open so developers and investors seeking a makeover project need to move quickly on this gold bullion on a cul-de-sac. The freehold rectangular site zoned Mixed Housing Suburban houses a rambling 244 sqm (approx.) character brick and weatherboard bungalow. The three-bedroom 1930s residence has been modernised to some extent and is surrounded by established gardens and gently sloping lawns with sweeping vistas of the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto Island.
The house has a rustic charm blended with neutral décor, some exposed original timber floors and a gracious ambiance that's mellowed over the years along with the family memories. The entire central floor is devoted to all the living and accommodation save for a large rumpus/storage attic space. Generously proportioned and comfortable family lounges and an old-school kitchen benefit from a north-facing aspect guaranteeing all day sun pouring into well-heated living areas and the dining room. Doors open out to offer al fresco use on the vast wraparound deck and an inviting bricked patio. The bedrooms are all spacious with two having access to the deck and served by a time-capsule bathroom and one separate toilet. On the ground floor a double garage is internally accessed with a plumbed in laundry area. There is also access from the garage to an enormous basement area.
Zoned for Selwyn College and Orakei School is within walking distance of the Eastridge Shopping Centre and to expansive parks and reserves. Close to the cosmopolitan vibe that's part of the café and beach culture in Mission Bay and Kohimarama, this exceptional property is a close to commute to the CBD by car or public transport.
