This substantial property on a prestigious street is addressed within a famously exclusive neighbourhood. Standing the test of time since construction in the 1930s, the splendid brick and cedar residence occupies a freehold 882 sqm (approx.) block of land with flat back yard presenting scope to put in a swimming pool if so desired. Ideally established to suit large families, the colossal ground floor has layout to run a business, make room for extended family or welcome paying guests.
The two-level 319 sqm (approx.) north facing home has traditionally styled softly toned décor blending decorative features, chandelier lighting and French pane joinery for a chic European ambience. The gracious formal living room has a heat pump and doors to the patio while adjacent, a similarly elegant dining room exudes the same air of refinement. A large old-style solid timber kitchen has plentiful cabinetry, updated stainless steel kitchen appliances including gas hob, and pleasant views. Three double bedrooms upstairs share two modernised tiled bathrooms including an ensuite to the master. The ground floor has a colossal open plan lounge/dining/rumpus area with upscale kitchenette and French doors opening to terrace and back lawns. Two adjoining double bedrooms and a big study are served by a big laundry and full bathroom flanking internal access double garages. Car enthusiasts will clock the massive off-street parking and bonus standalone garage within fully fenced manicured grounds featuring fishpond.
In zone for Orakei School and Selwyn College, the bay beaches and Orakei Basin water sport activities are minutes from home, while main arterial routes are handy for a short commute into the CBD.
