Meet Ingleside, an elegant two storey family home standing proudly above a well-tended formal garden with spectacular views of the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto Island. This large residence has been lovingly restored by the current owners who have raised their children in this sought after area, which is a stone's throw from Narrow Neck Beach and within walking distance of popular schools, parks, the Waitemata Golf Course and the Waikatere Sailing Club. The home has a distinctive high pitched roofline and inside offers a host of character features including original beam and plaster ceilings and sliding cavity doors, stained glass leaded windows and two working fireplaces. Modern additions include a wonderful open plan kitchen with an Ilve oven, stylish bathrooms and gas fired central heating Entering the spacious reception hall you are in the heart of this very English home with its gracious sitting room, dining room and a gentlemen's retreat all leading off the foyer. The lower level is expansive with four living areas, one bedroom, a separate laundry and one of the three bathrooms. A sunny conservatory with a favoured northwest aspect leads out to a flat landscaped garden with a paved entertainment area and an in-ground swimming pool. On the upper level an additional living area leads to two more bedrooms sharing a bathroom and a secluded master bedroom retreat with commanding views and its own ensuite. This gracious home of approximately 275sqm should accommodate the largest of families. However any visitors or extended family can be hosted in the additional sleepout set in the garden adjoining the pool. This much admired family home is being offered to the market by auction on Sunday 7th April.
