ANOTHER REMUERA HOME SOLD BY STEVE KOERBER

ANOTHER REMUERA HOME SOLD BY STEVE KOERBER

Some of Auckland's most desirable family homes are hidden away in Remuera's quiet leafy pockets. The problem is they're hard to find - both the homes and the quiet pockets - so when the whole package comes available, it's worth grabbing - quickly.

The first thing you'll notice about this family-friendly neighbourhood is the silence, day and night. Here you'll wake to the joyful sounds of birdsong, and drift off to sleep listening to... nothing.

Built in the mid-1940s and sympathetically expanded to cater perfectly to larger modern families, kids of all ages and stages will revel in the fully fenced backyard. The adjoining deck with outdoor fireplace is ideal for sun-drenched al-fresco entertaining, and there's plenty of lawn on this 860sqm corner property for a future pool.

When the weather turns the kids will migrate to the downstairs rumpus room - but only if you don't repurpose this spacious room as a home office or guest suite with its own bathroom and laundry. The double garage enjoys internal access and although there is plenty of safe on-street parking, you can store a trailer or jet-ski off-street too.

Welcoming Entrican/Woodley Avenue families will tell you how much they love living here. Drop a pin on the map and you'll realise how easy it is to walk to nearby shops and schools and commute to work.

It's not easy for our vendors to relinquish this wonderful home, however, they're off overseas and have no choice but to hand it over to a new family.
