The definition of wonder, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is "a feeling of amazement and admiration, caused by something beautiful and remarkable". While the description of this exceptionally rare parkside, double grammar zone haven could have stopped there, this unparalleled executive home simply wanders beyond a wonder.Designed by renowned architects Cook-Sargisson and solidly constructed as a 'builder's own home' with ground-level private entry onto Cornwall Park, this labour of love has been transformed and enhanced into an immaculate and substantial executive home with (approx.) 417sqm of glorious internal living. A straight-forward subdivision to enable the current Freehold Crosslease title (½ share) to become fully Freehold will result in an (approx) 820sqm land parcel (subject to Council Consent), future proofing its value as one of the only, and very rare, substantial parkside parcels in Single Housing Zoning with Special Character Overlay.As you step into this family haven, leave the bustle of central Auckland living behind and be transported to your very own private oasis.
