23 Wanganui Avenue, Herne Bay, Auckland

AUCTION WEDNESDAY

With that rare combination of location, character and comfort, this grand dame in the sought after avenues is the perfect opportunity for a family in search of a majestic home to make their own.

Recently refreshed, here is a classic villa replete with the kinds of desirable features that are proving so rare to find in this exclusive neck of the woods. Positioned for maximum privacy behind a high hedge, the thoughtfully configured residence sports three large bedrooms, including master with en suite. A spacious second lounge could be transformed into a fourth bedroom.

The heart of the home is the all-important open plan living zone, including well-designed kitchen with floor to ceiling pantry storage, Bosch and Smeg appliances and a handy breakfast bar. The entire area is flooded with light thanks to giant windows and French doors leading onto the large outdoor entertaining area with mature trees and edged by fresh landscaping, perfect for hosting guests. Inside, gas central heating ensures a cosy feel all year round.

An immaculately presented residence that still maintains some important heritage touches, this property delivers all of the city-fringe convenience you'd expect, not to mention off-street parking for two, a large wine cellar beneath and loads of potential for further development in the space below. You have the Herne Bay shops and its fantastic eateries and boutiques at the top of the street plus a short stroll to the local beaches. In zone for desirable Bayfield School and Ponsonby Intermediate.
