The big backyard, sun-soaked living, sea views, and a generous family home in sought-after school zones - this property truly delivers. Positioned on a sprawling 897sqm FREEHOLD section, this much-loved home offers all the ingredients for exceptional family living. From the expansive lawn perfect for backyard cricket, to the gardens ready for a green thumb or even space for your dream pool, there's room here for everyone. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, the home enjoys an elevated position with stunning outlooks across Murrays Bay Valley and out to the Hauraki Gulf. Constructed in solid brick, and cedar, its timeless split-level design captures natural light and maximises the flow throughout. Step inside and be welcomed by a grand entryway leading to two bedroom wings, a large separate lounge, and beyond to an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Here, soaring vaulted ceilings and industrial-sized ranch sliders spill seamlessly onto a generous entertaining deck, where family and friends can gather while kids and pets play freely in the backyard. The master suite crowns the top floor, showcasing breathtaking sea views and a private balcony - the perfect spot to unwind with a book or enjoy your morning coffee. A second spacious bedroom on this level is ideal as a teenager's haven, a studio, or a work-from-home setup. Originally built by the family over 35 years ago and first time on the market, this home has been the backdrop for a lifetime of memories - a testament to its practicality, warmth, and charm. Well maintained and move-in ready, it also provides a canvas for you to add your own touches and future value. Practicality is well considered too, with a large double garage, ample off-street parking for a boat, camper, or extra vehicles, and excellent school zones including Murrays Bay Primary, Browns Bay Primary, Murrays Bay Intermediate, Northcross Intermediate, and Rangitoto College. This is the family home that offers it all - size, location, views, and opportunity. Auction: Thursday 25th September at 1pm (USP)
