Owned by the same family for 54 years, this lovely 1920s character home has a wonderful serene presence, perched high above the street in a rambling, leafy 1059sqm 'English country garden'. Let classic features stir your passion as you see opportunities to plan a sympathetic update of this very private property that is not overlooked by any neighbouring properties.

Hold onto your heart as you note the elegant leadlights at the entry, the traditional quarter pane windows and doors throughout, high bungalow ceilings and herringbone parquet floors in the family area. Loads of good liveable space is waiting to be enhanced. Two big living areas with handsome fireplaces open to the sunny private garden, alive with birdsong. A large dining room is positioned for entertaining between living areas. A recently modernised kitchen adds appeal to the family area and every room enjoys beautiful leafy views.

Of the three double bedrooms on the upper level, the main suite comes with a peek of Rangitoto Island from the sunroom. Plus there's an ensuite and a large family bathroom has a bath. Downstairs a self-contained accommodation space adds versatility with another lounge, third bathroom and office. As well as a large solidly built double garage, there is abundant offstreet parking. Located in a quiet no-exit street on Remuera's sought-after northern slopes, the property has the added bonus of two street entries with a walkway to Pukeora Ave.

Close to bus transport along Remuera Road, the property is zoned for the highly sought-after Meadowbank School and is a stroll to Upland Road shops.
