Featuring extraordinary proportions and a prime, elevated position, this 1024sqm (more or less) property presents an exciting opportunity for its new owners. The classic block and weatherboard home was built by the current family 60 years ago and is filled with a lifetime of happy memories. While it is presented in original condition, the great bones and ample space offer endless opportunity for a new family to recreate the magic of the estate and start their next chapter.

The residence is tucked well away from the road and nestled within well-established grounds. Large picture windows in the lounge showcase expansive views out over the vast native bush beyond and capture spectacular evening sunsets. A heat pump provides all-year-round temperature control and the inside flows out to a covered deck. Three double bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom and separate toilet.

Outside, lawns extended down to the north-facing swimming pool and vast gardens. There is additional off-street parking available, which complements the under-house garage with workshop. As an added bonus, the separate ‘pool room' with pool table is the ideal rumpus or home office space.

This well-connected neighbourhood is a dream for lovers of the outdoors, who can explore the area's magnificent bush reserves and beaches on foot or by mountain bike. Kauri Point Domain, Muriel Fisher Reserve and Kauri Park are all close by, as is Soldier's Bay, perfect for summer swims and walking the dog. For kids, the neighbourhood is in zone for excellent schools which are both within walking distance, as is the local supermarket.

This sunny property showcases captivating views, generous dimensions, and exciting potential for renovation, rebuild or possible subdivision. It's a sound investment in a family-friendly location and too good to miss.
