14 First View Avenue, Beachlands, Manukau

Hidden treasure

Shrouded in privacy from the road the modest street frontage belies the striking and contemporary home on offer here. Superbly located on First View Avenue just a short walk to the Marina, Sunkist Bay Beach, Beachlands School and local shops.

The first living room offers warmth and ambience with Matai timber flooring, wood burner and French doors framing the view to large decks and the private, north-facing garden. Move on into the kitchen/family room and you will truly start to appreciate this home is a bit special starting with the lofty ceilings with clever use of windows and skylights to maximise the light and airflow both in winter and summer. Striking floor tiles and rich timber internal joinery invite you to linger and envisage family gatherings in this great space. Newly carpeted steps lead to a third generous living room with wrap around windows and doors leading to decks and garden beyond.

North-facing, insulated and using a mix of natural materials this home offers both separation and integration, relax together or find a quiet nook to sit and unwind there's plenty to explore.

Offering three bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor and two further bedrooms (including the master) and ensuite on the upper level there's a lot of space on offer here.

Superb and delightful garden, the current owners of 17 years have appreciated the privacy afforded by the mature trees but there's still plenty of room to add a pool and trampoline and continue with the country good life.

Unique in every way - an idyllic family home awaits.
