Property listing ID: 818438
Just four homes back from the prestigious shores of Cheltenham beach, this villa with its detailed and handsome Edwardian frontage, gives little clue as to what lies beyond. But don't be fooled by its circa 1910 appearance... backstage, this is very much a contemporary family home, one where children can walk to the beach without crossing a road. On the lower level, the hall and wide entranceway delivers you to the first of the home's four bedrooms, a separate formal living room, family bathroom, study and two further bedrooms. As you move through this original part of the home you are greeted by warm native timber floors, striking stained glass windows and high stud ceilings - all references to an era of craftsmanship... At the end of the hall the quality continues with a generous extension that encompasses family living, dining and kitchen. Spacious and airy, this is the 'hub' of the home characterised by sky lights, fireplace, French doors, soaring ceilings, shutters and white painted rafters. From here you step-out to a delightful sheltered and enclosed courtyard - a favourite for summer gatherings. On the upper level is the master bedroom and ensuite. A welcome retreat for parents with its leafy-green backdrop and close-up views of North Head. Separate from the home, is a double garage with its own full head-height attic. An enviable hang-out for teenagers and the ultimate sleepout or work-from-home space. Low maintenance grounds, easy-care garden, sunny west facing verandah and paved courtyard leaves plenty of free time for family activities. Additional features of the home include ample storage and off-street parking. 185 steps from one of Auckland's best beaches (a good deal less if you are tall), this is 'Premium' Real Estate... An idyllic lifestyle where blissful summer memories are made, where you can launch your boat at Torpedo Bay, walk the children to school, the parks and sports fields, the village or 'ferry it' to Auckland CBD.
