After 38 years in one family, this much-loved, superbly maintained, substantial home on a huge 1052m² site is ready to share its generous space and sought-after Terrace Housing and Apartment Building zone.
Perched up a slip road in manicured gardens the peaceful, private hideaway savours all-day sun and panoramic views - to Rangitoto Island with glimpses of the City and across the Remuera Golf Course (a short stroll away) to Mt Wellington, Waiatarua Reserve and South Auckland.
Built in the 1930s, the centrally heated 4-bedroom home with grand entrance, half-circle drive and dedicated home office brims with original character. Plastered ceilings and ornate chandeliers are magnificent. The home was sympathetically renovated and extended by a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) owner. The ground floor is solid concrete. The 2nd level has plaster over the original weatherboard and has been extended. The final renovation was architecturally designed and approved. It passed all checks and is fundamentally sound but missed the final compliance inspection. Smart buyers will see the ‘add value’ opportunity.
Enjoy flowing living areas – a grand formal lounge, formal dining, a modern kitchen hub and sunny conservatory. These open to sundrenched decks, easy-care TigerTurf lawns and private, peaceful gardens with commanding views - an entertainer’s paradise. There’s also a family bathroom and master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe plus ensuite. The double garage downstairs and a vast 4th bedroom, guest area or rumpus opens to a private terrace with second home office, another bathroom and laundry. There’s massive storage, room for a boat, trailer and the workshop is a bonus. Now covered over, the backyard pool could be reinstated.
A great traditional home - so much to love plus opportunities smart buyers can’t ignore - in Meadowbank School zone (10 min walk) with a range of great schools nearby, close to bus and rail transport, shops at the bottom of the hill and the golf club. Secure this rare chance now!
