Property Description

Picture this – relaxing with drink in hand on the dress-circle balcony, you look west to where the setting sun kisses the Southern Alps. Birdsong twitters from the enveloping bush as below, the lights of the city twinkle with promise. Tempting isn’t it. Add to the mix timeless Mid-century Modern style, extensive renovations and updating, four double bedrooms, plenty of sun as well as shelter from the easterly and you have your forever home.

Nestled among trees on the lower slopes of the Port Hills and facing northwest, this extensively renovated four-bedroom home offers a fantastic prospect for discerning buyers. The hard work has been done, and it is now awaiting new owners to make it their own.

The sympathetic renovations have enhanced the 1970s elements of this two-level home while adding comfort and style. The colour scheme has been updated and there are new tiles and carpet throughout. Modern touches include a sleek open-plan dining/kitchen area with new Bosch appliances, stone benchtop and breakfast bar. Along with the adjoining lounge, this will be the heart of family living and entertaining. All of this links to the full-length balcony, designed to maximise the sweeping views. A second living area downstairs would make an ideal media room or kids' playroom.

As you would expect with a property of this quality, the master bedroom comes with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Three more double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes share a family bathroom. Storage will never be an issue, with options throughout the home. Completing the package, off-street parking and a single oversized garage with ample storage and/or workshop area will please those with bikes or other gear and hobbies to accommodate.

It’s a perfect fit for outdoor enthusiasts in particular, with only a short bike ride or walk to Rapaki Track and the expanses of the Port Hills. And when it’s time for some urban comforts, the boutiques of The Tannery are close at hand and it’s only 5km to the CBD. Add in zoning for St Martins Primary School and Cashmere High School and you have a property of wide appeal to families, downsizers and busy professionals. That means a lot of competition so act now or chance missing out on a property that combines a sought-after location, modern comfort and convenience and those tranquil views.

Keen? Then act fast – this property won't last long on the market.
