La Felicita

Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta once claimed that "the great thing about fashion is that it always looks forward". While his statement was undoubtedly aimed at clothing and fashions through the years, it is equally applicable to architecture and homes. Take a classic Kiwi bungalow such as 11 Martin Avenue. The home's exterior carries the charm and elegance of its era with dignity and grace through to the 21st century, while the interior has been tastefully modernised and refurbished to ensure the home fits with the current decade. The home sits on a sizeable 761m2 section, making it ideal for families with young children who need to burn off steam and build memories in their new home. However, for those days where children's steam levels are particularly high, the stunning little Rangitoto Reserve is just up the road, ensuring plenty of opportunity to tire them out with a ball, Frisbee or on the parks flying fox.
The home features four sizeable bedrooms, two bathrooms and also has easy dining and living options with beautiful exposed floorboards and beam-and-batton ceilings These wonderful spaces are also ideal for entertaining, with plenty of overspill into the charming garden that features an iconic para-pool and tree house for those summer days and equally wonderful in the colder winter months, where all that is needed for a family evening is a good movie, a smooth French red and a blazing fire.
Martin Avenue itself is a beautiful, tree lined street that enjoys a friendly community feel and is centrally located with easy access to the numerous caf and restaurant options of Remuera, Orakei and Benson Road, not to mention its close proximity to the CBD and the Bays. This wonderful home is truly a rarity in Auckland housing market today and is likely to be on the shelf for the briefest of moments.
