Seller has purchased in the city and is happy to do a delayed settlement for September/October this year. Tucked away behind white wooden gates lies a private freehold 997M2 Northcote Point sanctuary. It possesses all the architectural hallmarks of a gracious bungalow and has been expertly renovated through the years to add space, chic interior style along with a gorgeous two-bedroom self-contained cottage. Unlike many others on this sought-after street, the home is positioned back off the roadside, so is afforded a good sense of peace and quiet. Renowned architect John Cornthwaite spearheaded the renovation process which showcases heritage craftsmanship elements of the era as well as enhancing, expanding and maximizing the rooms seamlessly, retaining the timeless signature style throughout. The swimming pool area is positioned between the two dwellings framed by tropical plantings throughout. The cottage is detached, single level with its own access and parking space. It was designed to be a mirror image of the main house and features the same leadlight windows with a relaxed and elegant atmosphere throughout. Double French doors fan out onto a totally private area with exquisite gardens throughout landscaped by Claire Talbot Designs. Perfect for renters, extended families, office, guests or Air BnB. The Point lifestyle is a huge pull factor due to its exceptionally central and accessible location, as well as its charming heritage. While the established neighbourhood is family friendly and picturesque, the viaduct, CBD, Ponsonby and Takapuna are all only a ten-minute drive off- peak. If you don't wish to venture afar, you have on your door step a lovely selection of cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as the boutique cinema and ferry for those who commute. This is one of the areas finest, most significant retreats and has the exceptional advantage of a second dwelling.
