AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD - Sunday 28 June

A rare offering in a fantastic location, this archetypal 1920s villa demonstrates all the upright aesthetics of her bygone era and yet harbours a contemporary interior, ripe for the modern world. Sited and settled on a sizable, flat and fully fenced 713 sqm section the property is perfect for families who want to be sure their little ones have a safe and sunny place to play in the back yard. Ample parking and easy access to a converted garage at the rear offers scope for a range of lifestyles and home-based needs.

The initial encounter upon arrival is of a charming old-school wooden veranda and as the front door swings open, glowing native timber flooring is revealed. Anchoring hallway, three double bedrooms, trendy bathroom and formal sitting room the white walls and higher than usual stud provides light and a feeling of space. The upscaled kitchen is a marriage of convenience and style with black and white contrasting cabinetry, entertainer's gas hob and pretty above-bench window. A sunny and light dining area is a pleasant space for family gatherings and French doors lead to a private deck area and the established gardens and lawns beyond. There's a lot of storage and ample places to keep tools and toys in this generous backyard.

Close to Waterview Tunnel, the motorway and Owairaka Te Ahi-ka-a-Rakataura Mount Albert for a breath of fresh air and stunning views, your location is further enhanced by proximity to Mt Albert and Avondale precincts for supermarkets and retail therapy. Point Chevalier beach is nearby as is Unitec for students and staff, and the school zoning of Mt Albert Grammar, Avondale College, Kowhai Intermediate and Owairaka District School are an absolute bonus.
