Retaining its classic architectural profile, this lofty shiplap cedar and weatherboard townhouse has been substantially renovated to deliver stylish, low-maintenance living. Elevated to capture enticing water and Rangitoto peeps, the home is superbly positioned for easy access to the best of the Bays. Designed with a relaxed lock-and-leave lifestyle in mind, this sunny, double-glazed home is ideal for busy families or those wanting to be within strolling distance of parks, beaches and cafés.
A fresh neutral décor enhances the light-filled interiors, with a versatile multi-level layout connected by contemporary frameless glass balustrade stairways. Taking pride of place on the top floor is a cosy, heat pump-warmed penthouse lounge - a peaceful retreat with elevated outlooks and a wonderful sense of privacy. The level below combines a spacious dining area and sitting room, while the generously proportioned main bedroom is served by a sleek bathroom and opens to an alfresco balcony deck. Strategically positioned to maximise natural light, the kitchen features a Bosch dishwasher, generous benchtop space and streamlined white cabinetry. Two further bedrooms are positioned across the lower levels, including one with a walk-in wardrobe, while the ground-floor bedroom offers excellent flexibility as a home office and sits alongside a stylish bathroom with warm timber detailing and dual basins. Generous under-house storage complements the internal-access double garage, with additional off-street parking on the forecourt.
Set on a flat, low-maintenance cross-lease site, the rear courtyard provides an easy outdoor space with room for storing bikes and other essentials. Madills Farm Reserve is close by for recreation and off-leash dog exercise, while the leafy surrounds of Dingle Dell Reserve are also within easy reach. Zoned for sought-after Kohimarama School and Glendowie College, and with beaches, cafés and transport links nearby, this is an exceptionally convenient Bays lifestyle with an easy commute to the CBD.
