About this property

This substantial 1970s cedar and brick residence combines timeless architectural character with thoughtful modernisation, creating a warm and inviting family home designed for effortless everyday living and entertaining. Positioned on an elevated and highly private 1,141sqm (mol) site, the property enjoys beautifully landscaped gardens attracting an abundance of birdlife including tuis and doves, creating a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of St Heliers. Spanning approximately 290sqm (approx.), the home offers a fabulous split-level layout that provides both connection and separation for families. At the heart of the home, the modern kitchen and dining area are well appointed for entertaining, featuring a large scullery and breakfast bar, while the super-sized lounge flows seamlessly to the impressive cantilever-covered north-facing deck and outdoor entertaining areas overlooking the heated swimming pool below. Accommodation is well catered for with four genuine double bedrooms, including a spacious master suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite with underfloor heating, heat pump, and direct access to a private north-facing deck. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized and supported by a family bathroom with underfloor heating, plus a separate guest toilet. A second living area on the lower level opens directly to the pool and outdoor entertaining spaces, while a dedicated office offers excellent versatility for families, guests, teenagers, or those working from home. Practicality is well catered for with a separate laundry offering direct access to the washing line. Parking and storage are equally impressive, featuring a double garage, attic storage accessed via pull-down stairs, a tandem carport, and ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles or a boat. The location is superb, within walking distance of Kohimarama Beach and the popular Madills Farm playground and reserve. Excellent in-zone schooling, together with nearby public transport links providing easy access to a range of sought-after private schools, further enhances the appeal. Homes of this calibre, offering generous family proportions, exceptional privacy, superb entertaining spaces, ample parking, and sought-after school zone appeal, are rarely found. Thoughtfully updated for modern family living, this is a rare lifestyle offering in one of St Heliers' most desirable locations and a compelling option for families searching for their forever home.
