What's around 48 McDougall Avenue

Heathcote Helmore Polished!

* To download the Information Pack, copy and paste the URL into your web browser http://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/L42767922 With all the hallmarks of one of New Zealand's most distinguished architects from last century, Heathcote Helmore, this attractive, mid-century home has been significantly enhanced and refined by our current owners to create a residence to rival the finest of new builds, whilst ensuring none of the enduring style is lost. Set on 1262sqm, the classic design in a clever, single-level, U shape, facing North around a central terrace, makes certain of sun and shelter year round. Living areas and the master bedroom open out through French doors and wide bifolds to this terrace and beyond, to a splendidly landscaped garden filled with Buxus, topiary, and borders brimming with roses and flowering shrubs, entirely in keeping with this elegant home. The pool is self-cleaning and has an electric cover and the family sized spa pool tucked around the corner is a bonus in all seasons. Inside, the recent renovations have transformed the house to the highest contemporary standards with touches of luxury. The new kitchen includes a huge scullery and separate laundry. The four bedrooms are served by four bathrooms, two are ensuites and all are fully tiled and quite diverse! Bespoke Oak timber cabinetry in the dining area has a Porcelain topped bar with wine fridge and cool drawer and plenty of storage for glasses. A separate living room and a huge space above the garage make this a home for families at all stages and ages. This is a quiet street and just a few minute's walk to the Merivale village. If schooling is important then the address commands the very best of zoning, Elmwood, Heaton then both CGHS, and CBHS, as well as close proximity to some of the country's finest private institutions. This is a rare opportunity for those buyers who prefer a classic house and garden but with all the modern trappings! There is much to admire here, so your viewing should allow enough time to appreciate all the benefits. Secure your appointment today!
