If you appreciate the authenticity and permanence of classic 1950s mid-century modern architecture, this recently renovated weatherboard home is the winning formula for you. Located close to sought-after leisure facilities from beaches to popular dog-friendly parks, this superb property presents the primary attributes for an idyllic first family home - or for downsizing locals, a convenient and laidback coastal base.

The home is deceptively spacious with a relaxed, well organised layout. Open plan living areas incorporating a dining room are underpinned by truly beautiful re-sanded and re-polished native timber floors. The neutral tones of a freshly repainted interior complement every room in the home while the central heating/cooling system maintains ambient comfort. With a porch facing the landscaped front yard and a smaller balcony deck at the rear, there are always options for alfresco entertaining. The open layout of the chic, minimalist kitchen enhances freedom of movement and social interaction with guests while the adjacent separate laundry flanks a sizeable bathroom with freestanding bathtub, chrome fittings and floating vanity. All three double bedrooms have plush new carpet underfoot, built in wardrobes and roller blinds tucked under the pelmets - a stylish window treatment used throughout the home. Underneath a single garage sits alongside substantial basement storage. The property tenders potential to further enhance and add value.

The front forecourt has ample space for multiple vehicles while the fully fenced 347 sqm (approx.) freehold section includes some lawns and a corner thicket of trees for soothing summer shade. In zone for Kohimarama School and Selwyn College and with Madills Farm Reserve and beachfront a short walk from home, this lovely property minutes from Eastridge shopping centre and commuter routes is a gem from start to finish.
