Once in a while something really special comes to the market, just like now. A home that has been in the same family for many years, a home that is being let go of because the vendor wants to buy something smaller. This is a home that is full of character, a home with beautiful views of the city and harbour, a home with excellent indoor outdoor flow at the rear and a home with a great garden on the northern side. Upstairs is a fantastic parents retreat or it could be used as a large second living room or amazing office space. Downstairs there are 3 more double bedrooms and the front sunroom which can be used as an office or a wonderfully sunny reading room. The large lounge flows through to the dining room which in turn flows around to the substantial kitchen. This really is family living at its best, with the bonus of an opportunity to add value if required.


Many love the quiet and gentrified suburb of Takapuna, known as Hauraki, as although it is beautifully quiet, and very family friendly, it also has the benefit of an excellent 10 decile zoned primary school, Hauraki Primary School. In fact this home is so close to the school it is almost over the back fence! There is a marvellous playground around the corner, a fabulous café, some lovely coastal walks, and the area has the benefit of being very close to Hauraki shops with the new Countdown, several restaurants, a hardware store, chemist, takeaway bars and a bakery. The southern end of Takapuna Beach is also easily accessible, as is public transport to the city, Bayswater ferry, Devonport and the motorway north or south.
