Creme de la Creme

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said that, "in character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity". That's what we saw in 50's architecture. Straight, to the point, reliable, charming with character and subtle style. A modernised home such as 18A Sonia Avenue is the perfect example of this simplicity and just how much style a 50's home can carry.

This wonderfully modernised home has been reimagined for the 21st century, retaining its 50's style and at the same time ensuring its relevance in the world of today. Exposed timber floors speak to the home's history, while a modern fit out speaks of its comfort with the 21st century.

With four bedrooms and a modern bathroom, the home is ideally dimensioned for many. The smooth flow between central rooms makes the home ideal for entertaining, and the generous outdoor space has more than enough room for summer BBQs with friends and family. The outdoor area itself is also secluded enough to allow you to enjoy an escape from the hustle-and-bustle of daily life.

Sonia Ave is a cul de sac off Victoria Avenue, putting the home within the heart of Double Grammar Zone and within walking distance of the renowned Victoria Avenue Primary School, Baradene and St Kentigerns and many choices for buses to other renowned Auckland schools. The home is also just moments away from the Remuera village and the shopping hub that is Newmarket, as well as the Orakei Basin and its encircling board walk. The infamous La Cigale farmers market in Parnell is only a very short drive to pick up your weekly bread, cheese, and wine and Bloodworth Park is also within easy reach for summer cricket and dog walking.

Nestled on the Northern Slopes of Remuera, this home can be considered as entry level, and given its size, modern renovations and garden space, this makes it a terrific package that is not to be missed.
