Elevated, facing north-east for all-day sun, this extraordinary, more than 1280m² family property enjoys incredible wraparound sea views across the Tamaki Estuary to the islands of the Hauraki Gulf and beyond. This is the first time it has come to the market for 36 years. Built of brick in 1969, the home was updated and enlarged by adding a substantial parent retreat - study, bedroom, dressing room and en suite - on the upper level 25 years ago. With a pitched ceiling and dormer windows, it captures incredible views over the water. Now a 339m² 4-bedroom home with 2 studies, this ample residence provides expansive indoor outdoor living spaces and separate wings for the family to spread out. Linked by a modern central kitchen, generous formal and family living areas look across the water and along to Glendowie Park and Churchill Park. Both ends extend to sundrenched decks, one of which steps down to a lovely garden where a huge pool has been a major drawcard for teenagers over the years. A family study area leads to the west wing with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, and the lower level is a fantastic entertainment space, accommodating a large suite for guests or teens. The property is super private but over the hedge is the walkway to Tahuna Torea bird sanctuary. Although it's peaceful, the sound of native birds is ever present. A great choice of top kindies, primary, intermediate and high schools is nearby including Glendowie Primary, Glendowie College, Sacred Heart and St Heliers Bay School. Sharpen your project skills to realise the property's full potential and experience the privilege of a fabulous well-established, caring community with many desirable local amenities.
