This classic 1950's weatherboard beauty was built to make living as relaxed and comfortable as possible in an era when homes were solidly constructed! Gated and privately set back from the road on 864m2 (potential 2 unit site) your first impression will be "as pretty as a picture" which resonates throughout this substantial home. Light fills the formal living room, separate dining room and also the especially wide hallway, which opens out through bi-fold doors to a sun trap of a deck. Perfect for entertaining or enjoying the large fully fenced garden, whilst watching the children play. This home has a large, modern, well equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. There are 3/4 bedrooms(master with ensuite)plus a family bathroom. As the house is north west facing, the morning sun comes into the master bedrooms and bathroom. The sun then moves around this house throughout the day, with the hall, lounge and study all enjoying the beautiful afternoon sun. The position of the two decks, back and front, is particularly useful for the summer when one deck becomes too hot. The combination of sun, trees, birds and privacy helps to provide a peaceful ambiance, in the easy-care landscaped garden. From the rear, take in the views across the Reserve, where moments away are a series of beautiful walks, sports fields and further afield the Remuera Golf course. There is an internal accessed garage plus a good sized workshop, separate laundry and masses of storage. Extra parking in the generous driveway for 2/3 more cars. Automatic gates with intercom, for security. Burglar alarm. Stay cool in summer, healthy and snug in winter with 3 Panasonic heat pumps plus an optional boost with gas central heating. Weatherboard and concrete roof tile construction, this home has been lovingly cared for and maintained by the same owners for the last 18 years! Homes like this are rarely available and won't last long, so act now and savour the warmth and space of this fantastic family home, in one of the best streets, which is full of other beautiful homes, so close to schools, shops and just 15 minutes from the CBD!
