Character DGZ home and entertainer's oasis

SOLD at auction by Carolyn Ryan and Stephanie Chan | Bayleys Remuera

Located on a safe and quiet cul-de-sac, within easy walking distance of Mt Eden Village, this airy and beautifully presented single level home is a private oasis in a prime Double Grammar Zone locale.

A Jones Architects renovation has elevated this classic weatherboard character home into an entertainer's delight, ideal for school-focused families and downsizers desiring all the benefits of urban living with landscaped gardens and space for entertaining.

The sense of light and space is immediate as you step inside and discover high ceilings and timber floors leading to generous north facing open plan living. Culinary adventures are a dream in the spacious kitchen with bifold windows, gas cooktop and granite and stainless steel benchtops.

Dine indoors or open the bifolds and extend the entire space to the louvred loggia with gas fire, the ultimate space for hosting friends and family year round surrounded by the breathtaking, meticulously landscaped gardens and lawn. Featuring a spa pool and stunning greenery, this outdoor sanctuary has the feel of a tropical island getaway.

Inside, a second living room with office nook provides additional space for relaxation and easy separation, while the bedrooms are cleverly arranged for maximum serenity. The generous master comes with a floor to ceiling tiled ensuite with underfloor heating, and two further large double bedrooms are serviced by a generous family bathroom.

Set privately and securely above the road behind a rock wall, and completed with double internal access garaging, the owners have loved bringing up their children in this haven for the past 26 years. Now a move out of Auckland means the chance to make this private hideaway your own.
