Overview

Updated Kiwi Classic

Welcome to a compelling blend of original character charm and generous sun-drenched family living, where you can open your gate and slip next door for your morning smoothie and the best pastries in Remuera. This Kiwi classic sits beside Knead, the much-loved artisan bakery/cafe's; in the vibrant Benson Road shopping precinct. Orakei Bay Village and the popular boardwalk around Orakei Basin are an easy stroll away. City living doesn't get much more convenient or appealing than in this large securely gated property. Location is a winner, but the pretty, freshly painted, super-private, single-level weatherboard bungalow has plenty of its own magic. Nestled between 2 level lawns, it has been thoughtfully fine-tuned for the way modern families want to live. The 4 big bedrooms and beautiful original features give the front of the home timeless appeal - from the wide hallway to the exquisite leadlight windows, baton ceilings, deep architraves and a quaint bricked fireplace. To the rear, a generous contemporary living extension opens to a peaceful, sunny full-width deck with leafy outlook. It's the perfect setting for relaxed family time and entertaining friends. Centred around a sweeping black granite bench, the spacious modern kitchen is equipped with Miele appliances, abundant storage and a generous pantry. Throw open the French doors, soak up the sunshine and fire up the barbecue, keeping an eye on children playing on the lawn. A freestanding bath stars in the family bathroom while the main bedroom has an ensuite plus plentiful wardrobe space. Year-round comfort comes courtesy of ducted heating and an HRV clean air system, complemented by double garaging and loads of off-street parking. Make this sun-soaked, low maintenance classic your family's next chapter.
