Already vacant and therefore extending a chance to move in before Christmas, this superb property presents one fortunate buyer with options to build an exciting future in the heart of St Heliers. Selling for the first time in over three decades, the well maintained 180 sqm (approx.) 1950s concrete and tile character dwelling nestles above a parklike 1244 sqm (approx.) section of rambling gardens comprising a lush botanical valley of trees, ferns, and native bush.
Touches of the home's bygone era show up in etched glazing and original timber joinery incorporating casement windows while living areas and slumber zones have neutral toned good quality carpeting. A favourable north facing aspect invites ample sunshine with French doors connecting the sitting room to a secluded patio where pretty garden borders nudge up to tiered lawns. An elegant black marble and brass fireplace surround injects an Italian ambiance while an adjacent open plan dining area is amply proportioned for entertaining. The kitchen is well configured for the essential work triangle and has timber flooring, lots of storage while garden bay windows enhance the treetops vista. All three bedrooms share a tiled bathroom with bathtub, separate glass shower and vanity and the toilet is separate as is the laundry downstairs at the rear of an internal access single garage.
Fenced and gated and well screened from the street, the home sits in a prestigious neighbourhood of substantial family homes highly prized by growing families for its proximity to all the essentials. Nearby parks and reserves, sandy beaches, and a myriad of eateries make for spontaneous social outings. The property is zoned for St Thomas School and Glendowie College and is within a short walk of St Heliers Bay Road shops and bus stops for a swift city commute.
