90 Matipo Road, Mairangi Bay, North Shore City, Auckland

Families who seek plenty of space, sun, separation and access to excellent schools will love this well-positioned property. The surprisingly generous 1,110sqm (more or less) site is tucked into the north-east facing ridge above Mairangi Bay. This affords the two-level family home not only fantastic light and sun all day, but expansive views out over the Hauraki Gulf.

The floorplan has the ability to grow with your family, thanks to the practical layout that offers handy flexibility when required. Entry level is upstairs, where walls of floor to ceiling glass showcase the elevated outlook in the open plan kitchen, dining and living space. This area flows out to a curved tiled deck for summer entertaining.

Three bedrooms on this level are serviced by the family bathroom and powder room. Downstairs, the ground floor has its own entrance and offers another large living area, a bedroom, bathroom and office space. The level also flows out to a huge deck, which overlooks the lawns and landscaped gardens that frame them. These generous grounds provide enviable space for kids to play in and explore.

As well as the single garage with workshop and storage space, there is plenty of off-street parking for extra vehicles.

This neighbourhood is a dream location for families of all ages. Well-renowned Mairangi Bay School is just footsteps away, while the neighbourhood is also in zone for Murrays Bay Intermediate, Rangitoto College and Westlake Girls High School. Mairangi Bay village shops, bars and restaurants are within walking distance from home, as is the beautiful beach and local parks. Milford, Takapuna and Albany are also a short drive away and the well-connected area is well-serviced with public transport and motorway onramps.
