The fuel crisis is more than a headline; it is a turning point that makes walking distance to top education the ultimate modern luxury. By securing this property, you are investing in a future where the daily commute is replaced by a short stroll to the "Triple Crown" of Murrays Bay Primary, Murrays Bay Intermediate, and Rangitoto College. This is a strategic move that trades the stress of the petrol pump for the stability of a premium location and an elite educational path for your children. The home itself is a fortress of modern comfort, featuring an immaculately presented weatherboard reclad on a solid concrete block base, fully fitted with double-glazed joinery for durability and peace of mind. Beyond its robust construction, the property offers a rare level of financial versatility with the one-bedroom income. Whether you utilize the secondary dwelling for a steady rental stream or as a private retreat for extended family, the potential for a secondary income provides a significant hedge in any economic climate. Inside the main residence, the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and two distinct living areas. Designed to face the east, these light-filled spaces offer a front-row seat to the sea, where you can watch ships pass on the horizon while enjoying your morning coffee. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to cater to a growing family, with the upper level hosting a master suite with a private ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, alongside two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. A fourth bedroom on the lower level sits adjacent to a flexible room, creating the perfect environment for a home gym or a quiet study sanctuary. The self-contained one-bedroom flat ensures complete independence with its own separate entrance, a full kitchen, and newly laid wooden floors that exude contemporary style. Outside, the lifestyle continues wrap-around decks that invite sun-drenched breakfasts or quiet evening glasses of wine amidst a natural sanctuary. The surrounding gardens, filled with mature citrus trees and vibrant shrubs, attract a local chorus of tuis, wax eyes, and blackbirds, making this property a serene escape that remains perfectly connected to everything that matters.
