At the end of a private lane, this tastefully updated 1950s bungalow reveals a modern, fresh interior and an enviable garden outlook- a unique family sanctuary just metres from the popular Knead Cafe and the Benson Road shops.

Set on a super-private, secure 749sqm property, the home is surrounded by manicured trees and lush landscaping by internationally acclaimed designer Andy Hamilton, creating a tranquil urban retreat.

Inside, light-filled open spaces offer style and functionality. A large modern kitchen with scullery anchors multiple living zones, including a generous office with wine cellar, all seamlessly connected for effortless family living and entertaining. Wide doors open from the main lounge to a sun-drenched terrace with seating around an outdoor fire - ideal for gatherings - while the separate family and dining rooms extend to a sheltered garden courtyard.

The parents' retreat on the main level offers a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while upstairs, three generous bedrooms share a second full bathroom. Powder rooms on both levels enhance convenience.

Set within a safe, secure community with no through traffic, this home is minutes from top schools - Meadowbank, St Kentigern, and Baradene - and amenities including Little Rangitoto Reserve, Orakei Bay Village and the Orakei Basin walkway.

Private, peaceful, and transformed for modern living, this property offers a truly unique, relaxed city lifestyle.
