Overview

Charming Big Family Home on Full Site in DGZ

Boasting a colossal back yard with ample space to drop an in-ground pool or alternatively exploit the Mixed Housing Suburban zoning for a new build, this astonishing 893 sqm (approx.) section is a rare find. Flat, private, and sun-drenched, the property is zoned for Epsom and Auckland Grammar for those wanting an excellent start to 2022 for their children's education. A 15-minute drive to the centre of the city, the classically elegant five-bedroom residence is likely to widely appeal to a range of buyers. Bring the family and enjoy the generous play areas with its charming treehouse or plan for a future project to maximize the land size and scenarios. The captivating 1920s bungalow has been fully renovated whilst retaining the aesthetically pleasing features of yesteryear from the leadlight glazing, polished timber floors, high stud, and robust joinery. A formal sitting room leading off the generous reception hall is a gracious room with fireplace, window seat and sash windows. A fresh white colour palette injects a contemporary vibe throughout the interior with spacious living at the rear having an open plan family lounge and dining room. French doors fold back to flow to a substantial deck for social times in the sunshine watching the kids safely scamper about as steaks cook on the barbecue. The kitchen is modern and light-filled with stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage while the laundry is a modern custom designed room. Accommodation comprises two lavish master double bedrooms both including modern ensuites, while the three other bedrooms are accompanied by a third family bathroom with a standalone bathtub, plus a separate powder room. Completely fenced and with an electric gate, there's parking for at least six cars while the back yard has a tool shed amidst trees, lawns and hedging all well-manicured. A short walk to Greenwoods Corner shops and eateries, and very close to Cornwall Park plus minutes from the Epsom shopping, this timeless classic is a rare find in a supreme location.
