Accessed from Bayswater Avenue and not from Lake Road, this turn of the century villa is located well back from the road and at the centre of the virtually flat, fully fenced, 823sqm site, which affords the home a significant sense of peace, tranquillity and immense privacy. The single level floorplan flows out to a sunny paved courtyard and BBQ area with every room enjoying a lovely outlook over the established gardens.
The owners have adored living here for the past 30 plus years and enjoyed the easy flow and heritage character of the villa, with the wide entrance hall and its arch a charming key feature. The Belmont shops are at the top of the driveway and it's just a short walk to the beach for swimming, sailing and stand-up paddle boarding. There's ample off-street parking on site, which includes an extra-large garage.
Inside, the high ceilings add to the ambiance and are complemented with a functional kitchen and casual dining area that is light, bright and open plan. The large dining room with its picture window and two separate living areas provide for flexibility and separation. In summer, sets of French doors can be thrown open to create a seamless flow out to the deck and courtyard beyond. The three large bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom with direct access from the Master.
This property is perfect for families – there is plenty of room to place a trampoline or kick a ball. Education is well catered for as it’s within easy walking distance of some of Auckland's most coveted schools - Takapuna Grammar and Belmont Intermediate, plus a choice of either Bayswater or Belmont Primary schools. With the village shops, cafes and Rose Theatre virtually on your doorstep along with Takapuna and Devonport a mere ten minute drive away, the convenience and opportunity offered at 117 Lake Road will surprise and delight!
