17A Seaview Avenue, Northcote, North Shore

Convenience, Comfort & Contemporary Living

This well-presented cedar weatherboard residence is tucked away from the main road in a quiet Northcote enclave just a short drive from Ponsonby and the CBD.

The current owner has lived here for 10 years and has loved the light-filled spaces, warm and sunny outdoor living and wonderful entertaining the property offers. It's been renovated over the decade to freshen and contemporise, with the new kitchen and family bathroom being the most recent additions.

Interiors are tasteful and stylish, with the voluminous and open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen the heart of the home. A chic white colour palette on the walls and cathedral ceiling is brightened with a feature dandelion light fitting, while many windows and two sets of bifold doors illuminate the room with light. The modern kitchen has a breakfast bar and lots of work space as well as high-quality fittings and appliances.

There are two light-filled bedrooms on the ground floor, as well as a large tiled family bathroom. Upstairs, the open mezzanine area is configured to offer another intimate living space or study and also has a bathroom to service the master suite. This bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary with its own private balcony overlooking Rangitoto Island beyond.

The easy-care grounds and gardens frame the paved courtyards and lawn that wrap around the home. A north-west aspect ensures sun blazes in all day and there is both covered and uncovered alfresco seating options. The whole area is fenced so it is safe for children and pets. Mature trees create a good sense of privacy, flower gardens burst with seasonal colour and the orchard features numerous fruit trees including lime, feijoa, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, peach, tamarillo, avocado, plum and fig trees.

While some of the hard work has been done, further enhancements may be explored by the new owner to personalise and add value.
