Chic Character that Feels Like New

Nestled comfortably on a street front section in prime Pillans Point School zone, this immaculate property has recently been given a new lease on life. It's hard to locate any corner of the sturdy single level 1960s weatherboard home that has not been given renovation attention. Some joinery endures and original native timber floors have been burnished to a honey glow but all else has a freshly neutral 2023 patina.

Step up to the Kwila front deck and inside to a tiled entrance foyer flanking an open plan lounge with study nook and easterly aspect. With one of two new heat pumps, dreamy drapes, LED lighting (found throughout) and partial double glazing this is an energy efficient interior. Two steps up and a generous dining zone sits alongside the handsome monochromatic designer kitchen. Stainless steel appliances contrast with deep charcoal cabinetry while an aperture above the sink enables the cook to engage with guests in the second lounge. This northwest facing conservatory is going to be popular with the family cat! An easy flow leads to a big, paved patio for the barbecue to take pride of place. The one bathroom is a whopper with all modern fittings including stylish vanity while scope exists to borrow space from the garage for an ensuite to the master. A separate laundry has a back door linking to utility areas and four total bedrooms include one with French doors to the patio - a potential study or hobby room if desired.

The king single garage has two doors to convey a boat, trailer or small car to the rear utility yard and there's ample off-street parking on a new concrete forecourt. The newly landscaped freehold section is easy care with raised planter boxes and fledging foliage. Walk to school and Waikareao Estuary with arterial routes handy to reach Bureta and the central city, this prestigious neighbourhood is perfect for growing families and discerning professional couples.
