SOLD BY VICKI INGHAM
Say Ta Ta to the burbs and head to 56 Sylvan Valley, a solid character-filled circa 1940s home, tucked away at the end of this leafy cul de sac. This home has that treetop vibe and feels a world away, yet remains wonderfully connected, only 3.9km to Titirangi Village.
Lovingly held for 28 years, the sense of care and pride is easy to see. Set on an expansive 1305m² parcel of land, the home is rich in character and warmth, offering three well-proportioned bedrooms, a sleek contemporary bathroom, and a brand-new kitchen complete with modern appliances-ready for easy meal prep for family and friends.
Open plan dining and lounge with a grunty wood-burner sitting centre stage. Double sets of French doors open to a large private BBQ deck where you'll overlook tranquil native bush where the tui and kereru socialise. Follow the handcrafted boardwalks and cross a charming bridge to reveal a breathtaking surprise, a sunny, flat lower garden framed by a gently babbling creek-your own private nature reserve and the ultimate playground for children, gatherings, or peaceful reflection, (a yogi's dream).
Recent upgrades include new carpet, new colour steel roofing, plus fresh exterior paintwork. Further extras include insulation, new exterior water heater, gas cooking and skylights making the lounge so inviting and light filled.
The freestanding studio at the front of the property adds another layer of versatility-ideal as a home office, creative space, guest accommodation or teen retreat.
Families will love the sought-after school zoning including Woodlands Park School (900m2), Glen Eden Intermediate (5.2km) and Green Bay High School (5.8km), with the added bonus of close proximity to Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School (2.3km).
Enjoy the relaxed Titirangi village lifestyle just five minutes away, renowned for its cafés, eateries, gallery/cinema and library, with the Glen Eden and New Lynn transport hubs keeping commuting simple.
This is not just a property-it's offers lifestyle, a sense of calm, connection and space to breathe.
