Home & Income on 1,120m2 FREEHOLD!!


When you can combine a substantial family home offering commanding views of the Hauraki Gulf and beyond, with the added benefit of additional income on a large 1,120m² (more or less) landholding, you know you have found something very special!!

First time on the market in two decades, this tightly held residence offers a unique opportunity for you to secure a magnificent five-bedroom family home complete with a self-contained unit with its own separate entrance. It's the perfect intergenerational home where an elderly parent can live quite independently, older children can live separately as they save their deposit for their first home, or you can live above enjoying the rental income from the unit below while you consider further options, perhaps the addition of another dwelling? The astute will recognize the opportunity to landbank 1,120m² FREEHOLD land for the future when land becomes even more scarce; you're Zoned Mixed Housing Suburban under the Auckland Unitary Plan.

This well-maintained solid brick and cedar home enjoys a sunny elevated position and is located among other prestigious homes in an established part of Auckland's North Shore. Open plan style living areas flow seamlessly to a wrap-around deck with stunning views for entertaining, while a separate formal lounge opens to a fully fenced private courtyard-garden area providing a safe haven for children and pets. Secure off-street parking for the boat or trailer is also found here.

The master suite and three of the bedrooms are on the upper level together with the family bathroom and a large separate laundry. The design of this magnificent home offers a flexible layout and caters to a range of family needs. Below, the fifth bedroom would make an ideal home office, music or media room. The double garage has internal access to the self-contained unit and the main home, and there's ample storage throughout this splendid family home.

The vibrant buzz of Long Bay, Waiake and Browns Bay are within easy reach for your beach walks, morning swims, local eateries and amenities. Albany Mall and the motorway are all close at hand. Top schooling is a rite of passage; you're in zone for Glamorgan School, Northcross Intermediate and Long Bay College, all decile ten schools.

You can rest easy when you know the home was originally built by the builder for himself and his family, and since then there's just been one other owner. After twenty years, this superb residence is now looking for a new family to move in and create their own memories for years to come.

Opportunities like this don't come along every day, so don't delay. Come to one of our Open Homes or call Debby and Mathew to secure your own private viewing.
