They say location is everything! Finally, a large, 1970s family home that offers gorgeous sea views to the city and the Auckland harbour bridge - in fact, in every direction - is available in the tightly-held location of Maritime Tce, Birkenhead Pt. Basking in all-day sun, it is enhanced by four balconies that command these desirable views.Set down a secluded driveway with privacy assured, you enter a charming brick courtyard and garden that also features a dive-depth swimming pool with generous decking for entertaining and alfresco dining.A tiled lobby greets you at the front door leading to two double bedrooms, each with ranch slider doors opening onto the north facing front garden and swimming pool. Ideal for the teenagers! This level has an oversized room used as a gymnasium, dance studio and rumpus over years past, offering great flexibility. A bathroom, separate toilet, laundry and storage room complete this floor.Progressing to the upper floor, those stunning sea views are enjoyed from the living and dining areas. The lounge features soaring, natural timber, cathedral-like ceilings accentuating the spaciousness. From here flow the two balconies capturing the panorama and the kitchen.The sizeable master bedroom echoes the cathedral-like ceilings of the lounge and boasts a generous walk-in wardrobe, a modern, tiled ensuite bathroom and adjoining balcony. Across the hall sits the fourth double bedroom, again with its own private balcony.A large basement area below the home provides that hard to find storage space - perhaps for working tools or beach equipment. Generous off-street parking for 3+ cars is available. Little Shoal Bay is a few minutes stroll away and the Birkenhead Village and local ferry service are all within walking distance.This home will be highly appealing to the family who wants privacy, space and functionality with that extra something special - the views and location. All in all, this property is a winner.Auction: at 8-12 The Promenade, Takapuna on Thursday 14 March 2024 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)
