The Kind of Home That Feels Just Right.
Timeless, soulful and enjoying a delightful sun filled, north facing position, this classic 1920s weatherboard bungalow is a true sweetheart. Set amid generous gardens and grounds, fully fenced and gated, the spacious and private section feels like a quiet oasis, yet you are only moments from Avondale village and local favourites including Burnt Butter Diner, Browne St Cafe, Tokos Takos and many more.
Inside, the integrity of the 1920s construction shines through, a testament to an era when homes were built to last. Three double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, all serviced by a smartly presented family bathroom. Polished timber floors complement a contemporary colour palette, creating a real sense of warmth and happiness throughout. Thoughtful refurbishments over the years have elevated the home without compromising its character.
The entire rear of the house has been extended and opened up to capitalise on the sublime northern aspect and fabulous grounds. This open plan inspiration offers outstanding entertaining options for every occasion, whether it's casual family meals or larger gatherings; this is the perfect space to play host. Two sets of double French doors allow for a seamless connection to the expansive deck and gardens beyond. There's almost 700sqm (the lion's share of the 1,107m² cross-lease site) of landscaped loveliness to make the most of here, all secure with its own driveway and as sunny as it gets.
Brilliantly located on the northern slopes of Avondale, with Heron Park, Oakley Reserve, the train station, and Avondale's buzzing town centre all just a short stroll away. Close to Unitec and Avondale College, and Intermediate schools, with Te Hono set to add even more vibrancy to the area. Easy SH16/SH20 access and just 10km to the CBD. This is the perfect retreat to balance work and life.
