Located on the "sunny side" of Church Street sits this charming cottage that has undergone an amazing renovation which is completely unexpected from the street. As you enter the front door you are greeted with the traditional cottage layout with bedrooms and a bathroom on either side of the hallway, however the design then opens out to an impressive addition which includes the kitchen, dining and main living areas. The pitched ceiling height and glazed apex above the floor to ceiling glass doors gives an immediate impression of space and an incredible amount of light to the room. The deck that runs along the front of the room provides a place to sit and entertain plus access to the garden via stairs. The vista of Rangitoto is uninterrupted and spectacular from here. Orientated to the North East you also have fantastic sun for a large part of the day. The kitchen is a simple L shape layout in the far corner of the room with an island bench providing separation from the rest of the space. There are black granite bench tops with painted wooden joinery. A single oven and gas hob, extractor fan, double fridge and full height pantry plus various drawers and cupboards complete the kitchen. Currently the room is separated using furniture, into a dining space and a living area which seems to work well as it is a very large area. The main bedroom at the front of the house has a walk in wardrobe area and fully tiled ensuite with separate shower. The main bathroom has a shower over bath, toilet, wash basin and underfloor heating. The tiled floor adds a stunning feature to the room. There are two other double bedrooms on this level. An added bonus of this home is the two bedroom apartment on the lower level. This area is accessible via the main house but also can be completely closed off to provide separate accommodation for rental. The home has double glazing throughout the new areas and kauri flooring in the old and new parts of the house. There are heat pumps and DVS. The laundry is located at the bottom of the stairs. There is a carport for one vehicle. The garden has been fully landscaped and offers a paved area in front of the downstairs apartment that steps down to a flat lawn area.
