Classic design never gets old - this Avery & Leuschke 1980's designed home is testament to that. When the current owners first viewed this 3 years ago they saw its massive potential and loving the fantastic location right in the heart of Takapuna made the decision to secure it on the spot! Their goal to enhance the layout improving upon what was already there and completely refreshing it both inside and out has been achieved with spectacular success. Innovative enhancements and stylish flair have made a huge impact on the way the home is lived in. By removing an internal wall an abundance of natural light floods into what is now an impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen space. Here the over height ceiling sweeps the eye up to the picture windows, and an extra set of doors invites you out to the lovely leafy green garden designed with minimal maintenance and maximum relaxation in mind! The master suite is tucked well away and provides a quiet retreat from the busy day, it has been cleverly altered to accommodate a walk through wardrobe and luxurious en-suite bathroom. The resulting quality transformation is a home to love, filled with light and crisp clean and modern lines whilst still respecting its architectural heritage. 1 Collins Street is perfectly positioned providing unparalleled proximity to the village and Takapuna beach - the sparkling waters of Lake Pupuke and the Pump House Theatre are also within easy reach being just a short stroll away. The location and lifestyle make this a sound investment in your future, and an ideal choice for professionals looking for low maintenance living and a quality lifestyle, through to empty nesters, to those with retirement in mind looking to downsize the family home. You can maintain your independent lifestyle here without forfeiting your privacy, or compromising on quality.
