LA Style with a Twist

\nTake a beautiful home with a relaxed and open LA style, marry it with Balinese-inspired garden and place it close to Kiwi beaches that's a true Pacific Rim winner. Beyond the super-sized front door, multiple living areas are perfect for stress-free family living. There's the den-like library, the teen-proof rumpus room, the fireside sitting room and an expansive home office, but best of all, the open-plan family living area has a wall that simply disappears to access the large suntrap deck, garden and pool. \n\nFour bedrooms and three bathrooms include two bedrooms that open to the front garden and play space, as well as a guest suite. But the Oscar-winner is the blissful master suite on the north-western corner with its walls of glass, palatial ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, private balcony and view of Rangitoto Island. \n\nThe ideal entertainer's house, but also a family dream come true, Madills Farm and the beach are nearby, while popular St Thomas's primary is just up the road. \n\nAs a creative collaboration between the owners, architect Paul Somerford and award-winning landscape designer Xanthe White, this home is a superb response to today's lifestyles, marrying hi-spec fittings with designer flair. Benefit from that vision and indulge yourself. \n\nProperty Specifications:\n\nHouse Area: 287sqm\nLand Area: 837sqm\nCT: NA17B/193\nLegal Description: Lot 74 Deposited Plan 40822\n\nRates: $5,576.50 (GST inclusive)\nLand Value: $1,070,000\nImprovements Value: $880,000\nCV: $1,950,000\n\nAuction\n2pm, Wed 27 Mar 2013 (unless sold prior)\n4 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland\n\nFor more information please contact Gary Wallace on 0274 988 585 or Vicki Wallace on 021 988 585.\n\nIf you would like to receive Gary and Vicki's weekly email newsletter, THE WALLACE REPORT, please email us - gary.wallace@bayleys.co.nz or vicki.wallace@bayleys.co.nz and put PLEASE ADD ME TO EMAIL in the subject line.

It has a fantastic park, Madills Farm, where the local dog owners meet for a chat, whilst their pooches give them the run around!\n\nPerched in a unique position it misses out on the tourist set and has a gentle, yet active, feel about it. Predominantly upper to middle class reside here and then tend to move from inner Eastern suburb to inner Eastern suburb.\n\nKohimarama Shopping:\nAlthough the area is mainly residential, it does however have a great group of shops that include a local takeaway, dairy, fantastic wine shop, beautican, superb bakery (I recommend the chicken pies!), a great green grocer, a great Italian restaurant and a selection of wonderful cafes for brekky and lunch.\n\nTransport:\nThe area is well serviced by the local bus transport.\n\nTransport Link:\nwww.maxx.co.nz\n\nEating Out:\nThe area offers a fantastic Italian restaurant, great cafes, a good bakery and takeaways.\n\nInformation Supplied by:\nwww.zoodle.co.nz
