Affordable Elizabethan Stunner The idea for the home came from a life long interest in half timbered houses of the 16th & 17th century, when the art of carpentry reached its highest point. The prior owners spent years planning and preparing the building of this Elizabethan style home. A true labour of love, that the current proprietors have enjoyed for the last 28 years. The very high standard of materials used - bricks from Australia, solid oak from England, cedar from America, roof slates from Spain and mahogany from Brazil - combined with the experience of the traditional carpenter, joiner and cabinet maker, ensured this unique property has stood the test of time. Gorgeous views of Rangitoto and the Gulf from the lounge, kitchen and terrace, combined with a picture book view from the leadlight windows in the master bedroom. This stunning home is just around the corner from the local village where young and old gather for a catch-up over coffee and cake and just a short walk further down the hill will get you to the park, reserve and Waiake or Long Bay beaches. Zoned for Long Bay College, Torbay School and Northcross Intermediate this is a must have! There is also the added bonus of second lounge / fourth bedroom with bathroom and additional off street car parking. Long happy memories here! But there is no going back, it has to be SOLD so come and experience the magic for yourself. Don't miss this rare and affordable opportunity, call Mark today!
