The Magical Narnia Villa!
Stunning villas such as this this rarely come onto the market on
the Hibiscus Coast. This beautifully renovated five bedroom home
has become known as the Narnia villa because the street lamp from
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe film lights your way at the
entrance to this home, so it truly is unique. Having lived here for
the past four years the owners are now returning to England so it
must be sold on auction day. Or you might like to make a
pre-auction offer!
Originally built around 1914 the 185sqm home
was moved from Grey Lynn to its current 758sqm site and fully
restored over the years, with a double garage, decking for outside
entertaining, and lovely gardens added. A huge boulder - a former
film prop - is a centrepiece in the front lawn. The bedrooms are
very large, ceilings impressively high and ornate, and original
wooden floors create a warm glow in a home that keeps wonderfully
warm with its wood burner and full insulation. One of the five
bedrooms could be converted so that you could enjoy two living
areas.
Situated down a right of way on a slip road off the main
highway between Orewa and Silverdale, it's quiet and very private.
There's a ton of parking, it's fully fenced and there's a ton of
room for the kids to play around the house. The front of the house
captures the sun during the day, and with its views to the west you
can enjoy the setting sun.
Just minutes to Silverdale, Orewa and
the motorway on-ramp at Silverdale it's perfectly located for those
wanting to escape the bustle of living in Auckland, but having to
drive back to the city for work. Here you're close to beautiful
beaches, great shopping at the new Silverdale shopping centre, and
a great choice of schools such as Kingsway at Silverdale, Orewa
College and Red Beach Primary School.
This home is your dream home
come true, so call and view it today.

MORE ABOUT RED
BEACH:
Just twenty-five minutes north of Auckland's harbour
bridge, Red Beach is a popular place to live if you need to work in
the city but want the lifestyle that the beach offers.
The beach
is well known for its Surf Life Saving Club, carnivals being held
here on a regular basis in the summer months. This broad sandy
beach is very popular with surfers, and most days there is some

variety of shops and services. Red Beach has an excellent primary
school and Orewa College is a highly regarded secondary
school.
Red Beach is a great destination if you like swimming,
surfing, kayaking, windsurfing and kite surfing. Views from the
beach and cliff edges extend out to the islands of the Hauraki
Gulf.
Beyond the beach, entertainment possibilities within easy

hiking in regional parks, ten pin bowling, cycling, mini golf,
