46 Lloyd Avenue, Mt Albert, Auckland City, Auckland

All agents conjunctions welcome! Politicians, dignitaries and celebrities have gravitated to this peaceful street in the Golden Triangle of Mt Albert, two minutes to the village. In recent years, former Prime Minister lived nearby to the grand 469m2 Arts & Crafts style home that stands elevated, catching sea and Sky Tower views from parklike 2233m2 grounds. Now you can own a majestic slice of history, one of the largest private properties in the area.

It was built by the prominent Garlick family who also built Ferndale House which hosts community events beyond the croquet club over the fence. Seen from the front garden, the upper level is a regal showpiece of Arts & Crafts character. A voluminous native timber panelled entry foyer opens to formal dining and lounge areas that have tall original fireplaces, now converted to gas. Elegant leadlight windows, beamed ceilings and the bay window reflect the grace of the era.

This home has undergone a high-end transformation by a former Consultant Engineer. No expense was spared in creating a luxurious 5-bedroom and 4 bathrooms for a family. A practical layout means the home can now be split into 3 separate living quarters.

A family dining area and farmhouse-style kitchen extend through bifolds to a huge elevated, sunny north-facing terrace overlooking the garden where there is room for a pool and tennis court. With a modern ensuite and dressing room, the spacious master suite also opens to the terrace.

On the lower level, a huge 110m2 self-contained apartment was added with a designer kitchen and bathroom with a separate entrance. Next door, an area perfect for teens or guests, opens from garaging to a large foyer/office area, lounge and more bedrooms. All areas spill out to the garden which has the boundless, leafy feel of a country property.

In Mt Albert’s most prestigious address, convenient to the CBD, trains, Rocket Park, motorways and in MAGS zone near Marist School, Gladstone Primary. Enjoy the prestigious lifestyle in this dream home complete with development and project potential.
