70 Old Mill Road, Westmere, Auckland City, Auckland

A dream location and stylish modern renovation makes this classic Westmere worker's cottage perfect for families, down-sizers and couples alike. The bonus of a separate one-bedroom studio and unexpected garden oasis at the rear take it to another level.

This well-connected Old Mill Road neighbourhood is a five-minute walk from sought-after Westmere School, as well as an easy stroll from the popular shops, bars and eateries of both Westmere and West Lynn villages. Western Springs and the Zoo are also close by, as are Cox's Bay, Cox's Bay Reserve and motorway onramps.

While retaining many charming original features, the floorplan has been reworked and refreshed to better suit modern living, as well as ensuring a cosy and comfortable environment with double glazing, full insulation and a Wi-Fi-controlled ducted heating and cooling system.

Three large double bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms, including the primary suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and there is generous amounts of attic storage. The open-plan lounge, dining and spacious chef's kitchen flows out to the sunny, peaceful and private deck and outdoor living at the rear.

Flat lawns are framed with fruit trees and flowers, which have been thoughtfully planted to celebrate unique colour and fragrance during every season. Fruit trees include plum, feijoa, citrus and strawberries.

The detached garden studio has its own access, lounge, bedroom and bathroom. This flexible space is ideal for au pair accommodation, extended family, long term guests, Airbnb or working from home.

The entire property has been thoughtfully landscaped and is fully fenced, so is safe for kids and pets, and with everything in walking distance you can leave the cars at home with two off-street carparks.

This home ticks a lot of boxes, come and see for yourself.
