23 Weatherly Road, Torbay, North Shore

Renovated and ready for summer

This fully-renovated Torbay home is located on 974sqm of prime land, just five-minutes' walk from Waiake beach. Positioned off the street, 23 Weatherly Road enjoys a quiet and private, sunny north-facing aspect and expansive valley views from its elevated position. The current owners purchased the three-bedroom, two-bathroom white weatherboard home in 2005 and have extensively renovated since then. The original home is thought to have been crafted around the late '50s early '60s as one of the neighbourhood's earlier homes and showcases design features synonymous with the era. During the modernisation, the current owners made sure to retain this character, including stripping back and revarnishing the timber floors, replacing all joinery with wood and even moving and centring the feature stained glass window in the dining area. As well as aesthetic enhancements, features like a new roof and full insulation offer great peace of mind for buyers. The interiors enjoy a relaxed, stylish design, inspired by coastal Bays living. The entrance hall opens into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, which flow out through French doors to the sunny deck. Overlooking the neatly landscaped front lawns and gardens, it's the perfect place for summer living and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen has stone benches and high-quality appliances, before the European laundry area opens out to the surprisingly expansive rear garden. The vast areas of lawns are fully-fenced, and offer a mature garden that includes an array of fruit as well as ornamental trees. The rear of the property also boasts a large solid garage, accessed by a new electric door. There are two light-filled double bedrooms on this level, as well as a handy study nook and main bathroom with a separate shower and original claw foot bath. The top floor is dedicated to the master retreat, which enjoys great views and has a walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite overlooking the back garden.
