Tucked away from the road enjoying peace and privacy, this 1185sqm (more or less) property presents space for the whole family. It’s located atop the Hillcrest ridgeline, which affords it spectacular, panoramic views out over the treetops to the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto. The home also comes with the major bonus of separate one-bedroom guest or extended family accommodation downstairs.

The classic weatherboard residence’s top level has been freshly transformed with a stylish contemporary renovation. This incorporates a new kitchen, fully tiled bathroom, new timber floors, carpet and crisp new paint.

Interiors are filled with natural light and high ceilings enhance the sense of space. An incredibly generous living area flows into the open plan dining and kitchen space. A large picture window frames the expansive views and the inside flows out to the partially covered, wrap around deck for all-season al fresco entertaining.

Three spacious double bedrooms on this level here each enjoy outdoor access through French doors and are serviced by the fully tiled family bathroom.

Downstairs and with its own entrance, the separate accommodation includes a lounge, bedroom, bathroom and office. It flows out to a private terrace with bench seating and new deck, which overlook the garden beyond.

There is plenty of off-street parking and room for multiple vehicles, which includes the double drive-through carport.

This is a very central and well-connected location, with the bus stop at the end of the driveway and only few minutes’ drive to Glenfield Mall and Highbury. Takapuna, Northcote and motorway onramps are also close by.
