42A Toroa Street

Nestled within a popular old Torbay neighbourhood, this spacious family home has undergone a thoughtful, elegant renovation to better utilise space and create a more contemporary feel. Spread over two levels, the residence offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the ground floor's bedroom, bathroom and outdoor access making it an ideal teenage retreat, extended family accommodation or home office premises.

Tucked back from the road along a private driveway, the elevated position affords expansive views on both sides of the house, as well as great light and sun. There's plenty of off-street parking and room to turn around in front, where feature stone pavers and a trickling water feature provide an inviting entrance.
Inside, the tiled front entry foyer is on the ground floor. A large picture window illuminates the stairwell to the top level and glass balustrades enhance the sense of connection and flow. The window also frames a snapshot of the sea, with the view extending down towards Browns Bay and the lower East Coast Bays. On the other side of the home, from the separate lounge and new kitchen, the outlook encompasses the rolling hills of Long Bay reserve and out across the sea to Whangaparaoa.

The lounge has a heat pump and opens out to the north-facing wrap-around deck and barbeque area.
There are three bedrooms, located along the hallway, each enjoying an elevated view. Downstairs, the original rumpus room was transformed into a generous separate suite and has a large bedroom/living room and luxurious, fully-tiled bathroom. It opens out to another deck, which steps down to the fully-fenced lawn and well-established private gardens.

42a Toroa Street is just a flat, five-minute walk from the Torbay village, and local kindergartens, Torbay Primary, Northcross Intermediate and Long Bay College fulfil the entire education journey.

This spacious, well-presented home presents fantastic family living within walking distance to the beach
