Big Love on a Supersize Section

The transformative 1960's era of peace and free love also gave rise to this corner sited, handsome Huntly brick sweet-talker. Since history repeats itself, the time is ripe to refashion further this well-elevated charming classic abode poised almost perfectly centre upon its 625sqm (approx.) freehold site. Appealing to first time home owners or young families with rambunctious offspring who will rule the back yard after the school bell rings, this is a golden opportunity for those with a notion to improve upon what is already refurbished amid the strong foundations of a home such as this. With elevation comes an urban outlook and abundant natural light bathing the home's interior in sunshine while glazing over glossy native Tawa flooring, coveted by character lovers. Timber joinery and wide window apertures incorporate French doors opening onto a front terrace from the cosy lounge where a woodburner is standing by for winter duty. A dining area on the northeast facing corner flanks a modernised kitchen where ample deep toned cabinetry partners tiled walls and stainless-steel appliances. All bedrooms share an equally as dapper revived bathroom with on-trend subway tiles deployed to showcase the separate bathtub while a wall hung vanity sits alongside the shower. Dual driveway access is an absolute boon for off-street parking aplenty, complementing the already oversize basement garaging with copious storage. Alongside the good-old-fashioned separate washhouse, a lean-to extends out and shelters your wood stash before connecting to a mammoth blank canvas back lawn encapsulated by mature red robin photinias. In zone for Brookfield, Otumoetai and Bellevue Schooling, this home so too provides an easy commute into the city and is just minutes from Brookfield New World, its satellite shops, Waikareao Estuary Daisy Hardwick walkway and McCardles Bush for a breath of fresh air when walking the dog.
