Preserved within a single family for 36 years, this thoughtfully maintained home illustrates the coveted lifestyle offered by the Cashmere hillside.

Spread across three levels, this expansive four-bedroom, two-bathroom abode boasts breathtaking views of the city and Alps, capturing optimal sun while providing refuge from the northeastern wind.

Originally completed in the 1960s, the home's charm is accentuated by timber ceilings and an aura of character.

Renovations in 2004 and consented repairs undertaken in 2014 further solidify its appeal. Notable highlights include solar water heating, a robust reclad of the lower level, an oversized double garage, and stylish redesigns by Ingrid Geldolf in the kitchen (2004) and upgraded bathrooms. Coming to market immaculately presented, the property still has room to further enhance and make your own. From the central kitchen, a succession of living areas unravel, each designed for comfort and leisure, complemented by a balcony that serves as the ultimate spot to soak in the scenic surroundings and stunning sunsets.

The adaptable design also features a private upstairs area with a separate entrance, perfect for extended family living, guest quarters, an Airbnb rental, a home office, or a teenage hideaway, offering privacy and versatility in equal measure.

With plentiful sunlight, the home is a warm haven, thanks to efficient heat pumps, thorough insulation, and extensive double glazing; while a spacious laundry further elevates its family-oriented functionality.

The level west side terrace lawn and garden are a rare hillside benefit, offering outdoor enjoyment enhanced by drive-on access and off-street parking.

Positioned moments from Cracroft Reserve, local cafes, and within coveted school zones, including nearby Cashmere Primary and High School, this house sits as a testament to desirable hillside living.
