When you need a break from the madding world, this spacious and light-filled family home immediately transports you to your "happy place" and immerses you in a haven that is decidedly reminiscent of Provence.
The owner is saying goodbye to a much-loved home and their instructions are clear, "We want the property sold".
Starting life in the 1930s this weatherboard cottage was enlarged and upgraded in the '80s with an extensive ground-level development, resulting in a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home that is perfect for family and entertaining.
With great street appeal, this home is all about form and function with generous rooms ensuring everyone has a space of their own. On the ground level is a tiled entry, a bedroom and bathroom (perfect for the teen wanting some separation), single internal access garage, and all flowing to a tranquil covered courtyard replete with grapevine and clipped topiary. Tres Provence.
Venture upstairs to the kitchen living and dining along with the master suite and two other double bedrooms. The living room and master bedroom have access to their own north facing decks which offer glimpses of the Waitemata and Rangitoto.
Secreted away in a quiet established neighbourhood, 23 Rautara is a great option for your forever home.
If you yearn for a French connection then come for a visit this weekend and see for yourself the appeal of this home in such a cherished location.
Auction: Wednesday 26 February 2020, 2pm, at Bayleys House, 30 Gaunt Street, Auckland Central
