Lovingly held and enjoyed by the same family for over 30 years, this home is a testament to its comfort, functionality and enduring appeal. Privately positioned down a quiet right of way, the home enjoys an elevated outlook across the valley of Castor Bay and out to the Hauraki Gulf, with views stretching to Tiritiri Matangi, Great Barrier and the Coromandel Peninsula beyond. Set on a 946sqm FREEHOLD section, there's room for kids to play or scope to add a pool or outdoor entertaining area. A double carport, ample parking, separate laundry and excellent storage complete the package. Architecturally enhanced over time, the original 1970s cedar weatherboard and brick home now features a solid plaster system. Whether you renovate or reclad, build new or re-develop, this property is a hidden gem ready for you to make your mark in this blue chip location. Light-filled and inviting, the generous open plan living area flows effortlessly to a large outdoor deck where those sweeping views take centre stage. The first level features three bedrooms, including a master with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite - the perfect place to wake to spectacular water view sunrises. The spacious kitchen and dining area is an entertainer's delight, complete with a breakfast bar for casual gatherings while the home chef cooks up a feast. A large second living area or fourth bedroom downstairs and an office offers flexibility for guests, teenagers or potential self-contained living. Zoned for Campbells Bay Primary, Murrays Bay and Wairau Intermediate, and Westlake Boys' and Girls' High Schools. Walk to Castor Bay Beach, local café, Kennedy Park and the clifftop walkway all close by. Easy access to Milford, motorway links, North Shore Hospital and Smales Farm Office Park.
