This smart 1990s cedar weatherboard home offers a compelling balance of space, privacy, and practicality. It presents the perfect option if you’re looking for a well-proportioned family property that is centrally-located, but tucked away from the stresses of city living.
From the outset, the west-facing courtyard sets the tone. Private and sun-filled, this outdoor area genuinely extends the living spaces and supports both everyday living and entertaining.
Inside, the home opens up immediately. The pitched ceiling in the family room creates a sense of volume and warmth, while the generously-proportioned, modern kitchen forms the heart of the home. The informal living and dining areas connect directly to the courtyard.
A separate formal lounge adds another layer of flexibility and also opens to the courtyard. Another set of doors leading to a rear deck overlooking natural bush, offering a quiet, private backdrop that again defies the home’s central location.
The main bedroom is also on this level, with direct access to the deck, and an ensuite with separate toilet that works equally well for guests. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms share a second bathroom, plus a dedicated work-from home study or music room. This space could readily serve as a fourth bedroom if required, giving buyers options as their needs evolve.
The separate laundry and generous storage throughout complete the accommodation. Outside, parking is plentiful with a huge carport for at least 2 cars, plus additional off-street space.
Location remains a key driver, with easy access to Meadowbank Village, the train station, Orakei Basin walkway, Rutherford Reserve, and a range of well-regarded local cafés and amenities. You’re also in zone for Meadowbank School, Remuera Intermediate, Selwyn College, and Baradene College.
Whether you’re a family or a down-sizer, this well-proportioned, warm home is well worth serious consideration.
