Property listing ID: 763559
Grab your towels and off to the beach ... what an idyllic carefree childhood awaits your family here in this '50's character home. So close to the delights of the beautiful Kohimarama Beach for the kids and the nearby cafes and restaurants for you. Madills Farm is just up the road and the landmark Kohimarama boat club is around the corner. In the same family for 25 years, this charming home has seen plenty of family fun and it is now time for another generation to enjoy it. Enter under an arching sweetly scented lemon tree, notice the sunny courtyard, listen to the cheerful sounds of the resident tuis and .... relax. Surrounded by native trees and tucked away in a private and sheltered suntrap, feijoas, plums and citrus grow freely. Character features delight and the smart new kitchen will excite your culinary creativity. The kitchen here is truly the heart of the home and the layout lends itself to surprisingly large scale entertaining. Socialize with your family and friends while at the same time tantalizing them with tempting treats. A cosy open fire warms one of the two living rooms. The other very generous living room, part of a newer extension, is cleverly designed to capture all day sun. A new gas fired heating system is vented underfloor throughout the house. If 3 bedrooms are not enough for your family and guests, simply extend further (subject to consent) - there is plenty of space. This home is virtually single level and is also an ideal downsize option with plenty of room for grandchildren. A second entrance is the vehicle entrance leading to a large backyard, double garage and carport as well as oodles of room for additional parking. A spacious workshop is a welcome bonus. The property is zoned for Kohimarama School, St Ignatius and Glendowie College and is a quick and scenic commute to the CBD.
