15 Tonks Street, Remuera, Auckland

Lifestyle, location and Double Grammar Zone

Effortlessly designed into its charismatic Remuera surroundings, with the security of concrete foundations and ground floor this warm and welcoming four-bedroom home is a retreat at the end of a long day. While just beyond the gate, the best of this northern slopes address awaits; Orakei Basin, parks, Orakei Bay Village and Benson Road stores just a short walk away.

Family-minded design and grand proportions make it must-see viewing for those with Double Grammar Zone on the list. Elegant and refined, professionals and downsizers will also discover it ticks the boxes - with an entertainer's kitchen, huge lounge, sunny courtyard for al fresco dining and surplus off street parking for family and friends.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has the size and feel of a grand hotel suite. This luxury of space includes expansive walk in robe, adjoining en-suite and balconette. Three more bedrooms follow, with the option of the fifth downstairs - currently used as a home-office. Two further bathrooms, a powder room, separate laundry and double garage complete the picture.

Fully fenced and north facing, it's minutes from the front door to fresh coffee from any one of many local favourites. Across the road, a walkway leads to the Basin's edge. Local zoned schools include Meadowbank Primary, while it's a short walk or drive to a number of other respected private schools in the area. Well-connected in almost every direction, be at Westfield Newmarket in ten minutes or the motorway in five.

Occupying the corner of Upland Road and Tonks Street, this enviable address unlocks lifestyle and your choice of schooling options. Early viewing is recommended.
