A Seat in the Sun

Houses are like fashion, some designs are just too classic to become undesirable. Like Dior's classic white blazer, the Bungalow is simply too iconic to be relegated to history.
By the start of the roaring 20s, the bungalow had cemented its place in the New Zealand story. With solid bones and a classic style, the design has become as iconic as jandals and hokey pokey, and this gracious bungalow at 5 Avice Street is no exception.
Stunning timber floors, an authentic flow and period features mix seamlessly with modern renovations to give the best of both worlds. Stunningly revitalised for 21st-century living, this wonderful home has three bedrooms and one bathroom, offering plenty of space for a young family looking for their next chapter, or empty-nesters looking to downsize. Complete with a wonderful living / dining area that opens onto the northerly garden and deck, this house is perfect for summer evenings with a bottle of ros and a book while BBQ smoke drifts gently in the breeze. The home is on one level and has a single garage, but there is near endless off-street parking given its location on a quiet cul de sac.
As for the surrounding area, this Mixed Housing Suburban home sits comfortably in the Double Grammar Zone, and a short walk away from Remuera Intermediate and the charming Remuera Village. Further afield, the CBD is within easy reach, as are the Bays, and should a day trip to a Waiheke winery become necessary, the ferry is within easy reach of your new front door.
Summer at the end of the first decade of the 2000s, the start of the second feels like a good place to start the next chapter of this iconic homes life.
