Located in sought after Stanley Bay with abundant street appeal at the front, panoramic views of Ngataringa Bay and Rangitoto Island at the rear, this charming and versatile Edwardian villa is a gem of a family home. Built over three levels the floor plan has been cleverly designed to meet a variety of living needs. As you enter the home you have a grand hallway, three double bedrooms, bathroom and separate toilet. A spacious formal lounge room leads through to the formal dining room and into the kitchen and family living space which flows out to a large deck with superb sun and magnificent views. The top level is devoted to the master bedroom, en-suite and home office - a perfect parents' retreat- while the lower floor arrangement with its second living area/media room, bedroom and bathroom makes for an ideal teenage pad or guest accommodation. Outdoors the charm continues. Wrap around verandas provide outside dining with sun or shade to suit, while the outdoor fireplace is a focus for relaxing and entertaining. When the summer sun gets too much a dip in the saltwater pool beckons and for the kids there is already a tree house with its own drawbridge in the pohutakawa tree. With private access to the reserve just beyond the rear boundary there is ample room to play. A single garage, plus carport and off-street parking for two vehicles complete the picture. Add to all this, the advantage of the local primary school and kindergarten just meters away, the convenience of a ferry service to the city plus a popular swimming spot and tennis club all within walking distance and this really is the full package. This is a home that has been truly loved and impeccably maintained. Now it's someone else's turn to enjoy. Call today to arrange your private inspection.
