A Kiwi Take on the Classic Summer


This delightful two storey family home soaking up glorious northern sunshine is set in lush surrounds and conveys an inviting holiday feeling. With the bonus of in-ground pool in the back yard, this lushly landscaped 733 sqm (approx.) freehold section is an idyllic property for people with active youngsters who need entertaining. The original 1960s brick and weatherboard California bungalow style home exudes a sense of nostalgia where the simpler life revolved around home-based social gatherings.

The sprawling interior feels much larger with spacious and generously proportioned rooms. Sympathetic modernisations are well executed and there's scope to refurbish further if desired. Wood panelling, open stairway risers, original timber floors and abundant glazing collude to create a restful coastal atmosphere. Upper-level open plan living has log burner and west facing balcony while the adjoining dining area exits to the deck and pool zone. A relaxed sitting room merges with the contemporary kitchen where an optimal work triangle incorporates Fisher & Paykel gas range. Three double bedrooms include master with flow to balcony, and all share a split configuration bathroom modernised with chrome fittings, frameless glass shower and trendy bath. The ground floor includes a tiled floor family room, colossal basement storage, small bathroom, and bedroom with exterior access. This space might be nabbed by a teen but would equally work for a home business set-up with forecourt and multi-vehicle parking just outside.

Close to Eastridge shopping centre, beautiful nature reserves, beaches and in zone for St Thomas School with Selwyn College a short walk away. Handy to bus and train transport and a 25 minute off peak drive to the central city, this special property is a rare gem.
