If you’re searching for a home that just works for family life at every stage and can cater to all occasions with ease from intimate gatherings to large celebrations, this is it.
Set quietly back from the road for ultimate privacy, and oh-so-stylish, 71 Edmund Street is the kind of home you feel as much as see. It’s full of heart and soul from almost 50 years of care by the current owners, who have extensively altered this 1950s classic as their family grew, creating a contemporary environment that’s both inviting and refined.
Three living areas across two levels allow families to spread out or come together — enjoy a moment of peace in the separate lounge, relaxed dinners in the dining room, or laid back weekends in the casual family zone with views over Kohimarama and vistas of the garden from every corner.
Easy care outdoor living and a magnificent pool area is the home’s calling card and one of the most stunning you’ll find. The pool (solar heated), the pavilion, the privacy; this fabulous space is made for good times and family celebrations. Picture birthdays, anniversaries and pre-ball gatherings, the owners have done it all, and so can you. Or on any given day, just relax in the sun with manicured hedging providing shade when you need it. A separate lawn at the rear is trampoline-ready or perfect for a kick around.
Five bedrooms give you the flexibility to live the way you want. Three are on the main floor for easy, single-level living when the kids are young; downstairs, two more bedrooms and a huge rumpus room opening to the pool, perfect for teens, guests, or a quiet work-from-home zone. Plenty of room for a pool table.
The property is fully fenced, centrally-heated, and while it feels like a sanctuary, you’re so close to all that’s important in the Bays. A shortcut to Madills Farm runs next door, and a walkway at the end of the street connects you to Melanesia Road, which will have you at cafés and the waterfront in no time.
A remarkable home unmatched for families to live, grow, and enjoy life for years.
