One of Northcote's best kept architectural secrets, this captivating Ron Sang-designed home seduces with a dazzling choice of sun-drenched living and entertaining options. Timeless and substantial, it was built solidly of double brick 32 years ago and recently refurbished to enhance the character with a warm, contemporary ambience. Against a backdrop of Auckland's skyline, superbly spacious, open interiors feature a wealth of beautiful timber in the cabinetry and ceilings. Classic Ron Sang, oversized floor to ceiling timber doors make an impact throughout and many textures create a richly detailed, layered effect. A clever layout offers separation between the various private realms, so this 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom home never feels crowded, even when guests come to stay. Some of the bathroom areas are cleverly designed with separate facilities to add flexibility for a family. The master bedroom suite has its own bathroom and walk-in robe. Expansive living areas spill out to balconies on various aspects so you can always shelter from the prevailing wind & a classic conversation pit is an intimate space for friends and family to gather in winter beside the fire. Incorporating a second kitchen, a large rumpus downstairs opens to a magnificent terrace where the original mosaic tiled pool and spa are beautifully landscaped with native and tropical planting for complete privacy. There is also a good-sized, fully fenced lawn giving children or pets space to play safely. With access through a gate from the driveway, a separate gym, studio or home office enjoys the serene garden outlook. This home is moments to Birkenhead Village, just 1 traffic light to the Bridge - a very special place for your family. Make it your designer retreat!
