Bring your chianti, your focaccia, your aromatic cheeses - and drink in the romance of this relaxed Mediterranean city sanctuary with incredible Gulf views over Karaka Bay. One of the Bay's best kept secrets, it's a fabulous fusion of original 1930s character. The unique home hides among established gardens on an elevated 1087m² corner property at the top of sought-after Peacock Street. Although tired, it's the perfect passion project for someone who appreciates its many lovely attributes or an awesome development site with potential to build several dream homes. The residence was built with Spanish Mission influences including a rendered façade and bell-shaped openings. In the 1980s renowned architect John Goldwater extended it, maintaining the character and charm. Living spaces have a bright breezy vibe and include wooden accents, low timber ceilings with exposed beams, recessed shelving and circular windows that capture amazing sea vistas. A spacious tiled lounge with warm rustic atmosphere opens to paved patios and a central courtyard shaded by greenery. Bedrooms are serviced by 2 family bathrooms plus a dreamy master suite upstairs opens to tiled balconies.
Located among some of Auckland's most breath-taking scenery in an exclusive neighbourhood just up from Karaka Beach and Churchill Park Reserve, handy to St Heliers. Revel in the privacy and beauty of a quintessential Mediterranean style retreat, then start planning. For it has potential in spades.
