EXPANSIVE SHEDDING – RENT, RENOVATE OR REBUILD

North facing and elevated on a picturesque position, this home boasts sweeping wide panoramic views across the harbour, stretching to Auckland Airport, with stunning sunsets and sparkling city lights by night. Set on approximately one point six nine hectares (four point eighteen acres) of flat to gently contoured land and zoned Rural Coastal, this brick residence with colorsteel roof and aluminium joinery enjoys a prestigious and serene setting, offering total privacy. Situated at the end of a quiet road and surrounded by established tightly held luxurious homes, including the renowned Cambridge Stud, this property offers the perfect canvas for a prospective purchaser to build their dream home or undertake a stylish renovation.

The home is currently tenanted and returning an attractive rental income of eight hundred fifty dollars per week. Owned and cherished by the current owner for over twenty years and held within the same family for six generations, the property carries a rich sense of history. Mature Norfolk pine trees, said to have been planted by Bishop Selwyn during his travels through the district on horseback visiting early settlers, stand as a quiet reminder of the property’s rich history.

Two driveways here, the main to the home with a secondary gravel driveway diverting to two hundred sixteen square metres (approx) sheds with power and lighting and mezzanine level offices plus bar and balcony. Golden timber floors in the home’s entry foyer continue through the hall into open plan family living with gas fire and sliding doors to a large covered patio. This living area flows into the kitchen with abundant cabinetry, granite benchtops, stove, stainless steel appliances and a handy servery window to the patio. There’s entry to one of two double garages off this area. A sliding stacker window wall in the adjoining dining room also accesses the scenic patio.

To the very front of the home a wide expanse of windows in the large lounge room invites views out to grassy children’s play space, the pool and across the countryside while a built-in wood-burning fire with stone surrounds keeps this large area cosy as required. There are three bedrooms here, all with heat pumps. The master with stunning views, built-in wardrobe and double vanity ensuite plus two further bedrooms both with built-in robes. The family bathroom has both bath and shower; there’s a separate powder room and another toilet with separate vanity and storage off a hallway on the way to the study. Al fresco recreation is picturesque on the expansive patio and by the fully fenced pool with timber deck surround. A spacious flat lawn area offers ideal children’s play space.

There’s certainly work needed here however we’re all aware of the importance of “location, location and location” relating to real estate’s financial value; this excellently positioned elevated site and picturesque property definitely delivers that with interest. Perfect for those who may choose to live in and restore shine to this gem or ideal for those who will make their dream home a reality.
