Originally built in the 1960s and extended in the 80s this home is firmly planted in the heart of this family-friendly beach suburb yet still holds a great opportunity to add further value for its next chapter. Set comfortably off the road it offers privacy and space yet walking distance to Murrays Bay for your morning dip or longue around at one of the many delightful Mairangi Bay cafes. The layout is flexible with space for small families and executive couples alike including a huge rumpus room on the lower ground level where the kids can play all day long or a work from home scenario. The bedrooms are all on one level (ideal if you have young ones) and the master is a generous size with an en suite and access straight out to a ground floor deck-great spot for your daily al fresco breakfast. The multiple living areas have wonderful flow throughout with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious family room all looking out to the views. There is an oversized double garage with storage above and ample off-street parking- room for the family boat too. The grounds are low maintenance and the back area is fully enclosed so perfect for kids and pets alike. As far as the schools are concerned be prepared to have exceptionally bright kids- zoned for Murrays Bay, Murrays Bay Intermediate and Rangitoto College. Live, breath and enjoy all this north shore lifestyle has to offer! Pre - Auction offers considered.
