Set on a generous 1,151sqm freehold title with approx. 245sqm of floor area, the home offers both space and sanctuary in a peaceful, private setting.

There is warmth and nostalgia here, thoughtfully refined with modern comforts and positioned within one of Auckland's most blue-chip neighbourhoods in the coveted double grammar zone.
The premium Morgan Cronin kitchen is beautifully appointed for both style and functionality, featuring quality appliances and excellent storage. Folding windows open seamlessly to the elevated deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow - perfect for entertaining while soaking in panoramic harbour views. The dining area also connects naturally outdoors, while the elegant living room showcases a feature fireplace and a stunning curved window that frames the landscape like living artwork.
Outside, meticulously landscaped gardens and lush lawns provide space for children to play and families to gather. A generous herb and vegetable garden adds practicality and charm, enhancing the home's ease and lifestyle appeal.
