Catch all the feels in this superbly updated Californian bungalow on a large 953m? site - a magical resort-like summer family playground.
Gorgeous big character spaces, panoramic harbour views and the perfect northerly orientation for maximum sun - where would you rather be? Located in a commanding, elevated position along one of Mission Bay's most peaceful, beautiful leafy streets, it's the kind of place every parent dreams about.
From the welcoming entry, polished timber floors lead to living areas that connect across the northern aspect, capturing all day sun. A generous dining space separates the formal lounge and spacious open kitchen family area. With high ceilings, the latter is a recent contemporary addition that expands to a massive deck and 10-metre long solar heated pool - just the spot to relax in the sun, catching views across to Rangitoto Island and the city. Or you can watch the children playing cricket on the easy-care tiger turf lawn with plenty of room for the trampoline at the end of the property.
Although these areas work as one, the formal lounge makes a lovely escape from the family hubbub, warmed in winter by a gas fire with French doors to a balcony and elegant original leadlight windows.
A double bedroom and updated bathroom and laundry complete the main level. Upstairs there are 3 more north-facing bedrooms with amazing views, plus 2.5 more smart bathrooms. Opening to a balcony with the best views of all, the master suite boasts an en suite and walk-in dressing room. But there is more!
A real bonus, providing extra options any busy family will love is a self-contained apartment above the double garage. Recently renovated top to toe, the spacious area has sea views and includes a modern kitchen, bathroom/laundry and bedroom for either guests, as a large home office or gym.
Minutes from Mission Bay Village and the beach, this fantastic property is zoned for top schools - Kohi School, Baradene and Selwyn College, plus it's on the private school route.
Be in for Christmas and the promised hot weather. Make your summer the best ever.
