About this property

• Well maintained and loved by the same owners • Originally three bedrooms • Free-standing sleepout • Large covered deck with all-day sun and a green outlook • Accessible, with ramp access and a modified bathroom • Zoned for Kaurilands School and Glen Eden Intermediate Well maintained and loved by the same family for the last 70 years with many happy memories, this original bungalow is now vacant and waiting for the next lucky family. The home sits in a lovely sunny position. Entry is from the front landing into a separate lounge. A hallway leads to two double bedrooms on one side and the dining room on the other, which used to be the third bedroom and has its own sliding door back out to the landing. The dining room connects through to the kitchen, still as it was built and kept as carefully as everything else, with real scope to renovate in your own time and to your own taste, and from the kitchen you step straight out to the covered deck. The bathroom has been modified for easy access and there is a ramp into the home, a practical bonus for anyone with limited mobility. A separate laundry and a heat pump for winter complete the main house. There is more room here than two bedrooms suggests. The dining room can go back to being a bedroom, and out in the garden a free-standing sleepout gives you one more room for guests, a teenager, a studio or a quiet place to work. The back deck is the sunniest spot of all, and it is where you will spend your time. Large, covered and built up above the garden, it has sun all day and a wide outlook across the treetops to the bush. With a roof over it, it earns its keep all year, whatever the weather is doing over the ranges. The section is freehold, with a single carport and a second park off the street. For a first-home buyer this is a sunny way into Titirangi, and it will suit just as well a renovator who has been waiting for a well-kept original to work with. Titirangi Village, known for its cafés and its arts scene as much as its bush setting, is a five-minute drive. New Lynn's train station, bus interchange and LynnMall are about seven minutes the other way, and the home is zoned for Kaurilands School and Glen Eden Intermediate. The tracks of the Waitakere Ranges and the beaches of the Manukau Harbour are a short drive further on. The house is vacant and easy to view. Come through at an open home, or call to arrange a private viewing.
