Once in a Lifetime Opportunity - Ignore the CV

This is your once in a lifetime opportunity. Seldom do you find a property which provides you with the best of both worlds. On the one hand, you have all the amenities of a bustling urban centre on your doorstep, and on the other you wake to the Tui's song and the soothing sound of a stream trickling through your garden.

Tucked down a winding, tree-lined driveway, this classic 1950's weatherboard house was redesigned by a local architect and fully renovated in 2019.

As you enter the home, you can sense the Scandinavian-inspired design which features an elegant combination of polished concrete floors and light, natural timbers. Downstairs is your solid wood kitchen with walk-in pantry and dining area opening out onto a sunny, wrap around patio through expansive sliding doors along two walls, perfect for large gatherings. Downstairs also has a separate, lockable access to the lounge through a ranch slider off a private patio, double bedroom, and bathroom, which will be perfect for extended family or a boarder. It has internal plumbing for a kitchen/washing machine if a separate "Granny Flat" is desired in the future.

Upstairs, a cosy lounge provides elevated views of native bush and garden below and for winter nights there is a wood burner that is NZ made with a high efficacy, ultra low emissions ceramic fire chamber for long lasting heating. All 4 upstairs bedrooms are fitted with stylish ceiling fans, dimmable LED lights, thermally lined roman blinds and UV filtering roller blinds. The master bedroom also features a walk-in wardrobe (Boston) and ensuite. The smart layout allows the fourth bedroom to be used as a generous study or office.

The large, private garden was designed by a landscape architect, drawing inspiration from the Manawa Stream which runs through the property. The garden features spacious lawns which are perfect for children and pets, low maintenance natives, established shade trees, a vegetable garden accessed off the kitchen, and a large variety of fruit trees (oranges, lemons, mandarins, grapefruit, limes, plums, feijoas, kiwifruit). The stream margins have been carefully restored and replanted over the past 9 years using eco-sourced natives from the Waitakere Ranges and attracts a variety of bird life to the garden (Pukeko, ducks, Moreporks, Kingfishers, Tui, Kereru and Fantails). There is even a "secret garden" hidden on the other side of the stream - perfect for family picnics.

There is a large (7600 litres) underground rainwater retention/detention tank which can be used to water the garden and feeds into the washing machine and toilet flush system to reduce water costs.

A short drive to motorways makes traveling convenient to South, North and CBD. The state of the art transport hub is just a pleasant stroll away for commuters. LynnMall will keep you busy on rainy days as it provides perfect retail therapy. It will also keep your taste buds busy at the new Brickworks with seven restaurants and amazing visual experiences at 8 screens cinema. There is so much to explore in this neighbourhood, you can start with Manawa Wetlands Park, Lawson Park, Woodshop café, Chipmunks, Bunnings, New Lynn School and the list goes on.

This rare New Lynn gem is an opportunity not to be missed.
