Sea Views and Superb Opportunity

The opportunity to secure a substantial home with Waitemata water views is presented in this deceased estate property which has been in the same family for close to 30 years, in desirable heartland Orakei. With an informative building report available, astute renovators and those who recognise the unquestioned cachet of stunning views in this post code will not regret a decision to scoop up this winner.

Elevated and north-west facing for all day sun, the original bones are 1950s with extensions and alterations completed over the years in rendered concrete block and brick and stucco solid plaster. The main central floor of living is light and bright, aided by extensive glazing and light interiors. The sea-green lacquered kitchen has a superb outlook only outdone by the main sitting room with open plan dining area. Warmed by heat pump in winter and cool and breezy in the height of summer when the sliders to the balcony can be stacked back for barbecues and parties, this configuration says "let me entertain you". Three double bedrooms all benefit from balcony access and stunning water views with two having a walk-in wardrobes. A large family bathroom has been upscaled in recent years and a handy office at the end of the hall is a bonus for additional accommodation if need be. Upstairs the crow's-nest bedroom is a generous master suite with tiled bathroom, roof terrace access and scope to create a walk-in wardrobe or enjoy as an additional living space to entertain and take in those stunning views.

Below decks, double garaging with internal access is flanked by useful storage and extra off-street parking around the side by the front entrance. Low maintenance grounds and close to all that's so good about the bays - fabulous cafes, swimmable beaches and proximity to the centre of the CBD by car or public transport.
