Auction: at 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 9 June 2021 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)
Homes rarely come up in this coveted coastal street a few minutes on foot from the swimming beach and cosmopolitan vibe of Mission Bay. Set on a rear section for privacy and peace the generously-proportioned 281 sqm (approx.) residence offers attractive living inside and out for those who want a warm and comfortable residence with plenty of scope to entertain.
Echoes of a contemporary Mediterranean villa in architecture and low-maintenance manicured gardens, the elegant five-bedroom home covers several levels of living and accommodation. The sunny spacious upper floor has a high stud with formal sitting and dining room doubling down on winter warmth with a heat pump and a built-in gas fire. The brand-new designer kitchen is stunningly finished with engineered stone counters, large stainless steel gas cooker and a well-designed caterer's scullery. Fabulous flow through dining area and family lounge leads to the spacious full-width balcony where family and friends will enjoy barbecues and socialising in this very adaptable part of the house. A nearby guest powder room has been modernised and also serves the two neighbouring bedrooms. One a potential home-office and the other a gorgeous master suite with walk through dressing room to a new fully tiled bathroom comprising dual basins and standalone tub. At ground floor level three more bedrooms share another brand-new tiled family-size bathroom with tub. Exterior access to the secluded and lushly planted courtyards and gardens presents further al fresco use.
The massive double garage with inclusive laundry easily handles large vehicles as well as bikes, boards and golf clubs. A large dual access utility room has been deployed as a home gym but also offers conversion to a wine cellar or hobbies room. Close to the Eastridge shopping centre, and a handy commute to the CBD, school zoning is for desirable Kohimarama School and Selwyn College.
