A Modernised Classic in Gateway Bays

This generously proportioned 225 sqm home nestled on Orakei's upper slopes began life in the 1940s. The street frontage weatherboard home is elevated for a wonderful outlook across the urban landscape. Immaculately presented and recently refreshed with full exterior and interior repaint, new carpets and a stunning new kitchen. Equally suited whether you're a professional couple or a family, this opportunity to live in a prestigious neighbourhood close to the bays' beaches would be hard to pass up.

Primary entertaining rooms on the central floor have multiple exit points to a selection of alfresco entertainment areas. A huge northwest facing living room has two defined seating areas with heat pump as well as open fireplace perfect for winter warmth. Banks of French doors can be flung wide to ensure cooling breezes and easy connection to gather outdoors in summer. Italian tiles anchor the spacious dining area and brand-new designer kitchen fitted with composite stone topped island bench, European stainless-steel appliances, and stylish contrasting laminate cabinetry. Doors connect to a spectacular open-air patio covered by a louvred foil roof just the place to gather around the roaring fire on chilly nights. Accommodation is either four bedrooms or three upstairs and a rumpus/home office on the ground floor adjoining the double garage. A guest powder room accompanies three bathrooms including ensuite to master bedroom which also comprises a roof balcony. There's plentiful off-street parking up an exclusive driveway on an easy-care section.

Close to Orakei Domain and in zone for Orakei School and Selwyn College, the property is minutes from Eastridge Shopping Centre and a swift drive to the bay's foreshore for a stroll on the boardwalk or saltwater paddle in the tide.
