1/181 Portland Road, Remuera, Auckland

Set back from the road across from the tree-clad Waitaramoa Reserve, this modern Double Grammar Zone home has north-facing alfresco areas for outdoor entertainment. Catering to a busy and social household, there is still scope to add value to this 215 sqm (approx.) home if desired, with the property a valid option for downsizing locals.

A lofty portico creates dramatic impact with tiled porch leading into an atrium reception area. Sisal carpet and dreamy drapes complement open plan living areas with cozy heat pump (one of three). Banks of double doors access patio courtyard, where decorative aggregate ground cover and clipped, manicured gardens make a pleasant setting to entertain and relax with friends. The open plan kitchen flaunts a deep claret glass back splash while stainless steel Bosch appliances with gas hob accompany ample cabinetry. Upstairs, all four bedrooms enjoy sunny green-scape vistas and share two bathrooms. The master bedroom has a heat pump and enclosed balcony while the walk through wardrobe leads into a tiled ensuite with wall hung vanity, toilet and shower. The remaining bedrooms share a separate toilet and similarly well-appointed family bathroom with generously proportioned vanity and shower. There's a large separate laundry off the kitchen and the second guest powder room sits adjacent to a big internal access double garage.

Off street parking on a cross lease title section sharing 1/4 of the massive 2044 sqm (approx.), the low maintenance aspect is a huge plus for busy, time-poor folk. This is a highly desirable and tightly held neighbourhood close to Shore Road amenities and reserve on the Hobson Bay waterfront. Minutes from both Remuera's vibrant village shops and the larger Newmarket commercial precinct and train station terminal, outstanding private schooling is also in the vicinity.
