Historic Home and Income
Welcome to Carmichael house, a beautifully maintained kauri homestead built around 1860 and set in manicured gardens on a fee simple corner site of 611sq.m.(more or less). There is a loft apartment built above a double garage on the Ruskin Street side of the property. Linked to that minor dwelling is a cute, refurbished army hut.
Step back in time and into the middle level of this beautiful home to formal living, main bedroom, second bedroom and bathrooms. Take the stairs up to a children's wonderland - an attic. Complete with three dormer windows this is a space which could be bedrooms, playroom or work from home space - you decide.
On the lower level, look for the heart of the place. A coal range sits between a warm and comforting English kitchen (complete with stone bench tops and gas cooker) and a sunny garden room with open fireplace. The warm soft kauri floors bring a glow to these spaces.
There is another living room on this level which opens to a generous, private west facing patio area. The third bathroom and beautifully appointed laundry are conveniently placed on the lower level.
This house has a flexible layout, so arrange things to suit - will it be three bedrooms and three living rooms for your family?
Well known for its graceful verandah arches, the old Harbour Masters' Cottage is close to the new Parnell gastro markets, the Havana coffee roastery and cafe, plus the Scarborough and Alberon reserves. Take an easy stroll to all that Parnell Village has to offer and the revitalised lower St Georges Bay Road business and cafe precinct. Long commutes will be a thing of the past, ditch the car and embrace the joy of walking, biking or taking the bus to
work. If you need to drive, the waterfront and motorway access are just a few traffic lights away. Take the children on a ten minute walk to Parnell District School and Kindergarten through the reserve walkways. Zoned for Epsom Girls Grammar and Auckland Grammar.
Continuing the tradition of careful ownership over 160 years, this beautifully maintained property has a new roof and various upgrades throughout. Waste no time to view this important property.
