About this property

There's so much to love about this generous family bungalow - plenty of character, impressive from the street, a layout that works for family life, and an outdoor setup that really makes the most of its elevated position. At the heart of the home, the bright and spacious, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area opens out to an expansive north-facing deck, with views towards Mt Eden and plenty of space for long lunches, summer dinners and entertaining. From here, the deck connects easily with the pool and mature landscaped garden, creating a fantastic outdoor living space that both kids and adults will love. Inside, there's room for everyone. A second separate lounge gives you valuable extra living space, while two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs and a further two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs offer flexibility as children grow, guests come to stay or working from home becomes part of the mix. The generous grounds extend to both the front and rear, with established planting, including fruit trees and a vege patch, giving the home a lovely sense of privacy and space. There's ample off-street parking, along with a huge garden shed that takes care of bikes, tools, sports gear and all the other things family life accumulates. It's a fantastic spot for family life too, with local cafes and shops, parks and transport links all within easy reach, while zoning for the highly sought-after Maungawhau Primary, Auckland Normal Intermediate and Mt Albert Grammar adds to the long-term appeal. A substantial home with character, space and a dream north-side, outdoor lifestyle - with all the ingredients for a family to settle in and stay for years.
