On the market for the first time since it was built 11 years ago, this immaculate residence is framed with beautifully-established gardens and presents family living at its best. The four-bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom home follows the contour of the land and enjoys a lovely north-facing aspect. The owners acquired the site and bowled the severely fire damaged home. They relished the opportunity to create a brand-new residence in one of Auckland's heritage suburbs. The weatherboard house is a modern take on a character bungalow and incorporates plenty of fabulous contemporary features, including polished concrete floors, high ceilings, internal double garaging, excellent storage and double glazing throughout.
Kids can do their homework and guests can gather around the island bench in the kitchen, which is the heart of the open-plan living and dining space. Doors open to the expansive sunny deck, which steps down onto the lawn and fully-fenced grounds. Established hedges create a sense of privacy out here, with the orchard and vegetable gardens. Back inside, a glass cavity sliding door opens into the separate lounge.
The guest bedroom (or home office), powder room, large separate laundry & carpeted internal garage are on one floor. Upstairs offers two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and the family bathroom with a bath. The master suite showcases views over the garden, across to the Sky Tower, plus a large walk-in wardrobe & ensuite.
This neighbourhood is within walking distance from Eden Park, St Lukes Mall, Dominion Road & Balmoral shops. Excellent school zoning includes Balmoral School, Good Shepherd School & Mt Albert Grammar. The owners have cherished their neighbourhood, as well as the space & design of their home. With their children now at University they're heading north, so it is available for the next family to enjoy.
