Discreetly tucked away off Gillies Avenue and by Melville Park, this 1920s bungalow was superbly extended and doubled in size in the early 2000s. For over 100 years, generations have passed through this solid and sunny family home, taking advantage of everything this superb location offers.
It's always been zoned for Grammar schools, but if zoning changes being inner DGZ, it should give you peace of mind.
Reminiscent of days gone by, you're built next door to the croquet club. The views from the top bedrooms are green and picturesque, reassuring that you shouldn't be built out on this side.
This home suits a large family or those looking for multi-generational living with excellent room layout.
Enter through a vast and gracious hallway with a snug and cosy formal sitting room to the left and a bright sunny north-facing family living to the right. The one-year-old, brand-new designer kitchen sparkles against the heart Rimu softly polished floors. You will love the spaciousness due to the extra high stud. The living room accesses the fully fenced backyard, well-decked with vegetable beds and laid in Fibreturf. No lawns to mow here! Instead, open the gate and walk through acres of park for your kids and pets to safely play in and enjoy. There is also a sports ground at the top of Melville Park and your kids can walk to school!
The ground floor comprises an enormous study (or fifth bedroom), laundry and powder room.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, the main bedroom with an ensuite and Juliet balcony overlooking the croquet club.
A large family bathroom completes this floor.
There is a single tandem garage and copious amounts of under-house storage. Plus a further two off-street parks.
A family and grandchildren have been raised here, and now it's time for the current owners to downsize. This home is waiting for a new family wanting a lock up and leave and a leisurely lifestyle right in the heart of DGZ.
Fantastic opportunity to buy in such an exclusive area.
