Timelessly elegant, this classic 1950s family home on a large 927m², elevated flat corner site embraces all-day sun and wraparound harbour views over Tamaki Estuary and Tahuna Torea bird reserve.
With its long low lines, deep eaves, huge picture windows and weatherboard cladding, it is a beautiful example of homes built in the era. This was a time when European immigrants flocked to the relaxed seaside lifestyle of the upmarket ‘Beverly Hills’ of Glendowie. With many great new amenities and schools that have sprung up nearby, life here has never been better.
Many original features remain - like the full height windows and the timber kitchen and laundry - which lend a warm sense of nostalgia. Yet under the watchful eye of a meticulous Dutch owner/architect, the home has been expanded for more modern living, better flow and extra bedrooms and bathrooms.
Guests step straight into the large lounge/dining area, a fabulous room that flows to a sheltered north-facing deck. A generous original timber kitchen separates it from a light-filled family area which extends onto a ‘kick a soccer ball-sized yard’. There are 3 bedrooms, a modern bathroom and guest wc in the original part. To the rear, as well as a huge double internal garage, the master bedroom enjoys outdoor flow and an ensuite. Upstairs, a stunning 5th bedroom or office addition with 3rd bathroom is the best room in the house. It is the tallest, sunniest spot in the area, with sweeping sea views.
Close to St Heliers, the property stands proud in a quiet cul de sac at the beach end of West Tamaki Road, perfect for a large family near the Tamaki River walkway, playgrounds, parks and reserves as well as Glen Innes Train Station. It gives proximity to good shopping centres, Sacred Heart College and is zoned for Glendowie and Baradene College and handy to the private school bus. You may also wish to pursue development opportunities.
Much treasured and it shows. Make it yours and live the life you’ve dreamed about.
