2 Minnehaha Avenue, Takapuna, Auckland

“The Oaks” as it is famously known, is located on the Golden Mile in one of Takapuna’s best addresses. Number 2 Minnehaha Avenue is a magnificent property offering a large character home on 1083m2 of flat land.

Situated in a prime location with Thorne Bay Beach at the end of the street, and Lake Pupuke across the road, you have the best of both worlds! Takapuna and Milford shops, cafes, bars, local eateries and local amenities are all within easy walking distance. The home built in the 1920s is a charming character home with original timber flooring and a floor area of 370m2.

The modern kitchen offers an Island bench that serves as a breakfast bar and a scullery that provides great storage and flows to a good-sized laundry. The kitchen flows to an informal seating area, which flows out to the heated swimming pool and outdoor courtyard with a built-in spa pool, perfect for relaxing and alfresco dining. Leading off the kitchen is a generous formal lounge that opens out to gorgeous flat expansive grounds, boasting west-facing afternoon sun.

An adjoining large formal dining area is ideal for hosting large family gatherings. A powder room flows off this space providing good separation for guests when entertaining. The spacious master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe is also located on the ground floor and is positioned perfectly for the afternoon sun.

The remaining three double bedrooms are located on the upper level with a large family bathroom to service these rooms. Two of these bedrooms face out over the grounds with the other bedroom facing out towards the sea, this would capture the lovely morning sun.

A fantastic feature of the property is a self-contained flat above the double garage. This space offers a large double bedroom plus an adjacent lounge, full kitchen and ensuite bathroom, ideal as a work-from-home situation or to house extended family.
