Recently subjected to a significant renovation and expansion, this much-cherished 210m2 weatherboard ex-state home has views down the valley to Bastion Point and across the Mission Bay neighbourhood. The layout and location are ideal for a fast-growing family with five bedrooms spread across all three levels of this private north facing partially double-glazed, well insulated, warmly heated home.A crisp white interior with stripped back native timber floors conjures a Scandinavian ambiance with the central floor presenting large open plan living and dining areas and neighbouring separate family room. French doors fold back to encourage easy flow outdoors onto the large sunny alfresco deck. Another barbecue deck also adjoins the remodelled kitchen where robust composite stone benches and stainless-steel gas cooker sit beneath a distinctive wall of subway tiling. The recently added upstairs comprises two sizable double bedrooms with leafy urban views and includes the master with walk in closet and fully tiled ensuite with frameless glass shower. A second equally tasteful family bathroom caters for a guest bedroom mid floor and two more on the ground floor also offering potential as peaceful work from home spaces. A massive laundry and ample storage throughout include the internally accessed double garaging. Some off-street parking on an easy-care section, room for the trampoline and fenced all round to keep pets and kids from straying.Walk round the corner to Eastridge Shopping Mall and the bus stop for private school students and the property is zoned for desirable Kohimarama School. A short trip down the hill to hit the bays boardwalks and cafes and soak up the cosmopolitan lifestyle and a handy commute to the central city by car, bus, or train.
