This sunny 1959 Mid Century design classic is beautifully positioned on 1082m2 of mostly Kauri clad land. Elevated on a north-facing ridge and basking in sunshine, city views twinkle through the trees at night. The home is still blessed with the original modernist features of Rimu timber wall linings, an efficient open fireplace, built-in shelving and cabinetry and beautiful polished Tawa timber floors. The bathroom is modernized with quality fittings in fresh clean white lines whilst the kitchen remains original with new appliances added. The spacious lounge and dining areas have generous windows and French doors opening to decking spanning the length of the house, capturing the city views. Each of the double bedrooms has French doors to the decking or courtyard. PLUS there is a self-contained sleep-out (arranged by the owners with a bed/bathroom and kitchenette, opening from French doors to the courtyard), a double carport and huge under-house basement with potential for development. Underfloor and ceiling insulation with a new roof add to the warmth of the house. The modernist architecture has been preserved and loved by the owners. It even featured in a home magazine in the early 1960s! Easily enhance and exploit the possibilities of the site: gain income from the sunny bed-sit or utilize in a variety of ways to suit your lifestyle, develop the basement, extend the deck to further enjoy the sunshine and trees, easily open up the kitchen to the sunny courtyard or simply enjoy the great design of this modernist classic. Close to all the fantastic schools in the area, including Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School. Currently tenanted for $500/wk, however previous tenants have paid $550. The owners bought this house for all of the reasons above, however changes in their circumstances mean they now need to sell. Don't miss your chance to own this rare beauty.
