Here the mid-century architecture maximises the sun, light and outlook, across Khandallah towards Mount Kaukau.

When you arrive at this immaculately presented and centrally located haven, there is an immediate sense of peace and quiet, because the property is set back off the road.

The house was built in 1952 on the site of the orchard that originally belonged to the large Victorian villa next door. Today you can still enjoy some of the fruit it produces. Birds have made their home here as well in the variety of trees that surround the site.

This pleasing and comfortable house has a large well-proportioned living room and family room that includes the kitchen and dining area. The living level works exceptionally well for parties and large gatherings. French doors open out to a sheltered courtyard with built in seating. The powder room and study are cleverly located on the living level also. The living room is the home's centrepiece; a large space with an intimate feel to it created by the raking ceiling that leads the eyes toward the beautifully designed steel frame windows - a distinct architectural feature throughout the house. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and the refurbished bathroom. Stay warm year round with air ducted central heating. This, like the rest of the facilities in the house, has been well maintained. Drive in to the large double garage with covered access to the front door.

Adjacent is a single garage and a spacious workshop/storeroom - just part of the substantial storage that is a feature of the house.

Call today and make an appointment to experience the ambiance of this home.
