This 1930's Californian bungalow has been a much-loved family home for my vendors after they supervised its careful delivery across the paddocks to site in 1995. Originally a landmark on Sarsfield Street in Herne Bay, this home now sits happily on 1.6 acres of private land in the heart of Kumeu. Within Future Urban zoning, this property certainly gives you options; you can enjoy all of the benefits of rural living and reap the rewards of savvy land banking while you are soaking up the lifestyle and bringing life back to this beautiful home and the surrounding gardens.
As you enter the front door, you are greeted by a grand entrance with stunning polished wood floors. Your eyes are immediately drawn up to the detailed period ceiling with an exquisite chandelier. Off the hallway are 3 generous-sized bedrooms including a master suite with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and a leadlight window seat that is screaming out for you to curl up with a good book and stay there!
One of the biggest surprises for a home of this period is the distinct formal and informal living areas as well as a separate dining area off the kitchen. The formal lounge is situated off the entranceway and has yet another window seat with incredible leadlight windows. The informal living zone opens out through French doors to the rear patio and one of the outdoor entertaining areas. The kitchen is laid out like a dream - you have plenty of bench space, double wall ovens, tonnes of room to swing a tea towel and views out to the garden from the kitchen sink.
The dining room leads us outside to a decked outdoor entertaining area that captures all day sun and overlooks the established gardens while being screened for privacy and shelter. The gardens, patios and pathways were very thoughtfully designed by a renowned landscape designer and will polish up beautifully, and with some earthworks, there is plenty of room for your dream shed!
Being a stone's throw from Huapai and Kumeu townships you have all of the convenience but with total privacy and so much space for the kids to explore and enjoy. Come and enjoy the best of both worlds!
