Elegant Character with Basin Views


The location and presentation of this enduring property perfectly positioned near Orakei School makes it the quintessential family base. The lofty weatherboard residence has been immaculately modernised and captures tantalising views across the neighbourhood to the waters of Orakei Basin.

The 234 sqm (approx.) two-storey home with inspired interior wall palette marries well with polished native timber floors, bright leadlight panes and classic French windows. Highly-specced upgrades complement and enhance throughout with spacious reception foyer featuring wrought iron balustraded staircase. The formal living room has a robust honed concrete floating hearth beneath gas fireplace while opposite, bifolds connect to the huge entertainer's deck with solid built in bench seating. A honed concrete block wall with outdoor sconces unites with stylishly executed barbecue centrepiece - a resort style drawcard for nighttime gatherings. Similarly exiting to the deck a spacious dining room integrates bar with wine chiller and bottle racks. Foodies will admire the designer kitchen where marble waterfall benchtops unite with cutting-edge appliances including 6 burner gas hob and oven beneath. An office and one double bedroom share a fully tiled bathroom while upstairs bedrooms connect from the airy landing nook. The main bedroom has walk in closet and a high stud ensuite with oval bathtub while a bespoke king-size laundry room boasts significant storage.

The single freestanding garage comes with off-street parking on a flat freehold 440 sqm (approx.) section. Low maintenance landscaped grounds include aggregate courtyards with hedging and fencing keeping kids and pets safe. A short drive to Eastridge, Orakei Bay Village and bays beaches, this respectable property fronts a desirable and leafy blue-ribbon street.
