Masonry Resort Style Living

15 years ago moving into their new Avery Architect designed home this family never dreamed how much they would love it and how much of a wonderful family home it would become. Located opposite the Orakei Basin walking track, walking the dog or going for a run has never been more convenient. A short drive to the best public schools, walking distance to St Kentigern Boys, a short drive to Kings Prep, Dio and St Cuthberts. Further up the street, you'll find Benson Road cafe, a hair salon, Artisan interiors, gift shop, florist, bakery and Morell Bistro and Bar. You're on the waterfront in minutes turning left for the CBD or right to the Eastern Bay's beaches. The home itself is the perfect layout for a busy, blended or extended family of all ages. The lower level has a 3 car garage, kitchen family room, separate dining and large formal lounge (or like this family have) use this room as a media room that flows to the north-facing swimming pool. A separate study/library area, powder room, plus a bedroom and bathroom on this level complete the lower level. Upstairs are the four double bedrooms plus a huge semi self-contained apartment great for the Aupair, granny, nanny or teenagers area to enjoy separation from the rest of the family. The master and 3 of the bedrooms flow to a north-facing balcony great for light and air. A huge walk-in wardrobe plus ensuite completes the master suite. Only three homes are nestled down this private two-way lane. Enjoy the safety and security of this small boutique gated community.
