Step beyond the stately stone walls and between the mature pohutakawa to an elegant character home set well back from the road with generous off street parking on 1090sqm. This expansive residence has undergone a high-end, stylish renovation with a family lifestyle in mind complete with four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms plus a fully self-contained apartment and a garden studio.

The front entrance opens to the central floor and the heart of the home, boasting two light-filled living spaces, a sleek modern kitchen complete with scullery and exceptional indoor/outdoor flow. Also on this level is a gorgeously presented ground floor bedroom with ensuite.

On the upper level are three further bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the master with its luxurious walk-in wardrobe and generous ensuite. Downstairs you will find the spacious fully self-contained apartment with the prospect of unparalleled flexible living. Complete with Poggenpohl kitchen and bathroom, this could be the ultimate space for a work from home business, a residence for extended family/guests or a teenage retreat. Well designed laundry, plenty of storage and double internal access garage with off street parking for multiple vehicles.

The rear of the property is a quiet oasis of lush landscaped greenery, where you can read a book on the north-facing decks and listen to the birds or entertain family and friends in the all-day sun while the kids splash in the pool. Tucked into the corner of the garden is yet another surprise: a studio, currently utilised by the family as a gym.

The family have loved living in this central, high-end location close to the sparkling Eastern Bays, top schools, local shops and Meadowbank School. The children have now grown, and it's time to pass the baton on to someone who will delight in the abundant opportunities this stunning home has to offer.
