Captivating Character for the Modern Family

On the market for the first time in 21 years, this charming circa 1934 home has abundant key ingredients for family living and elegant entertaining. It is easy to see why the opportunity to live in this exclusive row of Selwyn Avenue heritage homes is seldom available.
The beautiful entrance, with Kauri floors and a wide hallway, leads to the formal living and dining rooms that are tastefully detailed with period features including Egyptian glass pendants, deco-themed open fire, and charming leadlight windows. By clever contrast, the sleek, functional kitchen enjoys up to date features to impress the most discerning home chef. The super-sized bench doubles as an informal dining / homework area, or a spot to enjoy a glass of wine that has been chilled in the integrated fridge drawer. With its cathedral ceilings and expansive glazing, the adjacent family area allows the light to stream in, creating a seamless transition through bi-fold doors to the level outdoor entertaining area, including spa, heated pool and manicured lawns.
The children are well catered for on the downstairs level, with 3 double bedrooms, a family bathroom plus guest WC. Adjacent to the main entrance, the front room is ideal as a work-from-home space, a guest suite or a separate area for children's play. The master retreat on its own upstairs level has a private living room and balcony, and enjoys expansive views down the glistening Waitemata Harbour, encompassing Mt Victoria, the lush fields of Bastion Point and the twinkling city lights beyond.
The master bedroom itself is flanked by dual walk in wardrobes and a luxury tiled ensuite.
The property is within easy access to the myriad of lifestyle and entertainment options that the Mission Bay Promenade provides. It is also in the revered Kohi School zone, and the transport route for private schools is at the doorstep.
Our owners have created many happy memories over the past 21 years, and now give your family the opportunity to add your own chapter to this enchanting home's rich history.
