Ideally positioned between Kohimarama and St Heliers, this architect's own mid-century home features a forward-thinking single-level design, efficiently updated and extended by the current owner creating a 190m²(approx) 2020s solution for families seeking excellent schooling and laidback living in the Bays.
Blessed with multiple living options inside and out there's ample space for all. A clean designer kitchen and island form the family hub linking generous casual living and dining. This opens to a large northwest facing deck, ideal for entertaining or keeping an eye on the kids playing on the lawn - there's space here for a pool if that's your wish. The light and airy separate lounge is a stand-out feature, with transom windows flooding the space with natural light and sliders leading to a sunny sheltered courtyard.
Two double bedrooms share a luxurious tiled family bathroom while the well-appointed master comes with en suite. Outside there's off-street parking for three cars coupled with extra large storage beneath the house for all the tools and toys.
The location on a quiet cul-de-sac perfectly balances the best of both bays. It's an easy stroll to Madills Farm, the waterfront beaches, and the shops and cafes along Melanesia Road. Alternatively, turn right at the top of the street for the bars and boutiques in St Heliers Village.
If school zones are your priority, this scores a 10/10 - moments from Kohimarama School and St Ignatius while Glendowie and Sacred Heart Colleges are just over the ridge.
This is a brilliant home, stylish and supremely livable; an outstanding New Year find for local families taking the next step to see them through or those eager to move into the area and establish roots in the beautiful Bays. It won't last long.
