The vendors have confirmed plans to permanently relocate to the United Kingdom, making the sale of their property an important step as they prepare for the move.
Having owned this 4-hectare property for over 40years they undertook a significant structural and systems upgrades to the 1913 home some years ago. This resulted in a full restoration including the replacement of framing timbers to both the walls and roof structure. Other improvements include new foundations, updated wiring, full insulation, a replaced roof, and the installation of French doors and skylights to enhance natural light and access. Two heat pumps were installed and the open fire replaced with a more efficient wood burner, guaranteed to provide year-round comfort. This has resulted in a home of incredible character yet functions at a level far more relevant to how you would want to live today.
Over its approximately 112-year history, the property has had just four owners. The site contains a generous workshop (9.4 X 5.6 approx), a large storage shed, and four-car garaging, providing extensive functional space suitable for a variety of uses. Located between Muriwai Beach and the Waimauku Valley, it is approximately a 30 minute off peak drive to the Auckland CBD and a similar distance to the North Shore.
And now for the bonus. At 4+hectares, the land offers potential for subdivision, presenting options for multi generational living or future development. With a sensitive approach this development could readily create separation without compromising any privacy. The current owners wish to transfer the property to a purchaser who will recognise the very special qualities on offer, and are also seeking a well-maintained, characterful home in a private setting with development capability.
Their relocation timeline is now set, so they are committed to ensuring a smooth and timely settlement process.
