Words are hard to describe some very special properties with this country lodge styling!
We are delighted to market such a property...imagine living in a secluded prime Kohimarama location seriously overlooking Madill's Farm, with choices of private living and entertaining areas, where all the main level enjoys a wide sunny northerly aspect across park vistas to the coast.
Built in the 1950's across an elevated site totalling 1,545m2, this then contemporary architectural styled weatherboard home of over 350m2 has stood the test of time with many features and the footprint remaining largely unchanged and relevant today. The development potential under the revised unitary plan zoning is an added bonus.
The past owners have over 43 years undertaken major alterations and improvements including landscaping around an expansive lawn covered garden, totally accessible from its many decks and living areas.
The easy discreet road access to garaging and parking lead to an inviting level entry and expands to the stunning views from the open plan living/dining areas with clerestory glazing on the stairwell.
A huge open fireplace forms the centre piece of the grandiose formal lounge with its lofted cathedral ceiling and warm wooden beams, claiming the focal point of this home. The upstairs wrap-around deck in turn coupled with a series of large ranch sliders links the dining/kitchen area, family room/TV snug with the formal lounge encapsulating the stunning views over Madill's Farm, and flooding the entire area with sun-filled natural light.
Wake up to the ever-changing park views from the spacious master bedroom, which includes dressing room and en suite. Also adjacent are the other 3 double bedrooms on this level with full bathroom, and also share the long north facing terrace with a secluded garden outlook.
The contemporary kitchen and family areas open to elevated north facing decks, a generous entrance portico below and stairwell, secluded lawn/parking, plus easy internal access from the generous double garaging below.
The lower level provides the 5th bedroom cum playroom, a work-from-home office, conveniently located bathroom with separate laundry and laundry chute form kitchen above. The 5th bedroom/playroom is afforded great access through both the ranch sliders and French doors to the decks leading out onto the immense lawned garden that surrounds the home, north, east and south, with high hedges promoting exclusive privacy.
A new owner could again bring this family home up to date with the latest trends and ideas, as well as land banking this vast estate for any future development.
