LAST OPEN HOMES THIS WEEKEND. This magnificent 1930s family residence set in secluded landscaped gardens approaching nearly a third of an acre, borders Dingle Reserve with picturesque views to Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf. Located in a peaceful and tranquil setting this is your opportunity to enjoy a home that is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thoughtfully restored with charm and character, the ground floor offers extensive reception rooms for casual and formal entertaining and staff or guest quarters logically configured. The entire house caters for all the demands of family life. The main entrance hall with its distinctive herringbone parquet flooring and the crisp, modern kitchen with granite work tops and white cabinetry are features unforgettably en vogue. French paned doors and double-hung sash windows invite the sun to illuminate the beautifully proportioned living room with Regency fireplace as its focal point. The upper floor has two double bedrooms and one single bedroom. The master bedroom has an ensuite featuring extensive use of granite - as is the case in all the bathrooms in the home. From a small Juliet balcony watch the boats in the gulf and keep Rangitoto in your sights. A capacious dressing room with racks, rails and shoe shelving will cater for the most ardent fashion aficionado. The entire home and grounds have been meticulously maintained to enhance the joy of living in this park-like tranquil environment. Currently configured on two titles - the house on 905m and the pool and garden on 837sqm, there is an option here for the construction of a further dwelling. This is a rare opportunity indeed. TENDER CLOSES NEXT WEEK: Thursday 3 December 2015 at 4.00pm at 369 Remuera Road.
