5 Sunrise Avenue, Murrays Bay, North Shore City, Auckland

The extraordinary size and exceptional location of this Mairangi Bay home makes it a dream for large, growing or extended families. It was built by the owner just four years ago and designed with busy modern living in mind. The white weatherboard residence incorporates six bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living areas, while a perfectly north-facing aspect floods the rooms with light and sun all day.

Generous proportions and high ceilings enhance the sense of space inside. On either side of the front entrance are a large lounge with outdoor access and the internal double garage. The kitchen has quality appliances and good storage, and two bedrooms are serviced by their own fully tiled bathroom.

Upstairs offers another large living area with two more bedrooms located off it. One of these is the master suite, which boasts a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Two more bedrooms are located on the top level and share the large family bathroom. This has two sinks and a freestanding bath.

The exceptional school zoning is a huge drawcard here and caters to children at all stages of their education journeys. Along with a choice of excellent preschool centres, Murrays Bay School, Murrays Bay Intermediate and Rangitoto College are all within very easy walking distance from home.

Murrays Bay Beach, wharf and iconic sailing club are just a short walk away, as are Mairangi Bay Beach and busy village. Albany Shopping Centre, Apollo Medical Centre, Asian supermarkets and motorway onramps are a short drive.
