Welcome to the best of the 1970s enhanced by impeccable contemporary flair. This big, solid brick and weatherboard Kiwi classic sits along a quiet cul sac, moments from Kohimarama School. The 204m², 4-bedroom treasure, elevated on a huge 1048m² freehold property, has been tastefully renovated and is waiting for a discerning modern family to step in and fall in love.

With superb 70s bones, a simple, sensible configuration flows from airy open living spaces. Fling the French doors back to enjoy the effortless connection to a vast entertainer’s deck overlooking a large, fenced garden with a stunning leafy outlook and tons of room for children to play. Interiors feel light and fresh with stripped back, original pale timber floors and ceiling cornices add traditional character. A gas fire burning bright in a brick hearth adds cosiness and a sophisticated high quality new kitchen adds extra storage in the scullery.

On the same level, all 3 children’s bedrooms have wardrobes and share a gorgeous new bathroom featuring a deep bath and beautiful black fittings. Upstairs, away from the hubbub, the sunny master bedroom suite is enormous. The light-filled room expands across the entire floor with a balcony, an ensuite and capacious walk-in dressing waiting to be fitted out. It’s comfortable now but would make a fun project for savvy purchasers who can quickly add easy value.

In addition to double internal garaging, off-street parking is massive. There’s room for the boat, campervan and numerous guest vehicles. Plus, space in the garden gives an opportunity to add a pool or second dwelling. By the beach, parks, Kohimarama School and zoned for Selwyn and Baradene College. Enjoy the good life that this superb 1970s home keeps on giving.
