Exquisite on approach down a quiet bush-lined road, the park-like presence is praiseworthy, and the authenticity of this bespoke 1930's residence simply magnificent. Beyond the automated gateway, majestic landscaped grounds furnished with mature deciduous and evergreen plantings form the secure foundation of this romantic private family sanctuary.
A sensitive modernisation maintains the historical integrity. From multiple reception rooms to sinuous outdoor transitions, a cool palette and cascades of natural light elevate every aspect; including the featured baroque-inspired herringbone parquet flooring, wrought iron balustrades and decorative period finishes.
Configured for relaxed and formal occasions, bifold doors create division between the lustrous open concept kitchen and the dining, and possessing a Regency fireplace, the main sitting room spills out to the sun-dappled patio. Privacy is bestowed upon the master and guest bedrooms, each with an ensuite. The three other bedrooms are assisted by two gracefully appointed bathrooms. From the master bedroom's Juliet balcony, you can observe ships sailing the Hauraki Gulf with Rangitoto looming on the horizon; furthermore, the liberal walk-in wardrobe will befit any generous personal collections. The meticulously manicured English gardens embrace an impressive pool and provide a private parkland scene to picnic, or host large celebrations; as the grounds have witnessed family weddings in their time. With Dingle Reserve, right at its doorstep, you are immersed in native Tui, Kereru and birdlife melody all day.
Utility-wise, there is a double carport and an internal access garage with voluminous split-level storage space. Beautiful seaside St Heliers village, with top restaurants and shops are just a peaceful wander through Dingle reserve. Pristine beaches and excellent education are all close by.
Set upon two titles - the home on 905 sqm (more or less) with the pool and gardens on 837 sqm (more or less) - provides options for the construction of an additional dwelling and development. This unique property weaves nature and comfort to allure you to fall in love with what is a most wonderful tranquil family home that offers an idyllic lifestyle, all in the heart of Auckland City.
