A PEACEFUL, PRIVATE HIDEAWAY-STUNNING BUSH

Backing onto woodland of beautiful trees and native bush, this peaceful hideaway on an incredible 2324m2 site makes you feel as if you're living in a sunny forest glade. Yet Birkenhead village, amenities and motorway access are handy. Traffic noise disappears as you head along the drive and the only sounds are the chatter of tui and native kereru playing in the trees. Stylishly updated to highlight Art Deco origins, the 3 bedroom home takes full advantage of this inviting leafy setting. Bifolds draw back and the open-plan living area extends across a huge sunny deck for easy indoor outdoor entertaining. Whether you're a professional couple or a family, you'll have plenty of time to relax with friends when you move in. Although it's large, the property has minimal lawns to mow and the garden takes care of itself. Summer is fun exploring tracks on the property. In winter, a heat pump makes the well-insulated home cosy. Simple but effective details enhance the Art Deco theme. Bagged brick walls, dark stained timber floors and corner display shelves create a lovely ambience. There are skylights in the living area and the bathroom has been superbly tiled for a smart traditional look. All three bedrooms are large and one of the rooms opening to the deck has great storage and could be a second living area. There's also good storage in the shed at the front plus heaps of parking for guest cars. In zone for the very sought-after Willowpark Primary School. Not just a delightful home but a place to lift your spirit.
