Still displaying many of the character elements of its 1940s era, this lovely rendered brick and tile bungalow on a north-facing corner site has been substantially modernised. Well located within easy reach of the Tamaki River waterfront and its scenic shoreline reserves, the home offers buyers the chance to embrace the invigorating coastal lifestyle locals love. The backyard in-ground pool and surrounding alfresco zones will be a huge hit with families, complemented by desirable school zoning and nearby community facilities and parks.
Single-level living includes spacious open-plan living areas with original native timber floors, a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and stackable sliders connecting seamlessly to pergola-protected alfresco decking. Gourmet cooks will appreciate the fully upgraded kitchen with a substantial composite stone island and benchtops, while stainless steel appliances include twin Bosch ovens and a gas hob. A handy study nook is tucked into the passageway, with four bedrooms easily catering to busy households. The master bedroom includes a private ensuite with shower and toilet and also enjoys direct access outdoors to a courtyard. The main bathroom has a spa-like feel with a shower over the curvaceous bath, while an additional toilet is conveniently incorporated alongside the laundry. The home also offers excellent storage, including attic storage and handy external access to useful underfloor storage for items such as garden and pool equipment.
The fully fenced 500sqm (approx.) section is well established with pet-friendly lawns, ornamental plantings, abundant fruit trees and a freestanding double garage. Glendowie School is a short walk from the door, with both Churchill Park School and Glendowie College also conveniently located for students. Close to Glendowie, Churchill and Roberta Parks, as well as public transport and arterial commuter routes, this private and peaceful home is perfectly positioned to be a family-centred sanctuary for the coming summer.
