Light, quiet, open-plan living to private, sheltered garden.
The east-west site gives the house and garden full northern exposure from sunrise to sunset, amplified by extensive decking to the garden and quiet street.
The house has been renovated for contemporary living in the last two years. The solid kauri workers cottage, originally built in 1890s, has a new kitchen and bathroom added to its three double bedrooms while respecting the history and integrity of the original character in keeping the wooden doors and floors.
The kitchen comes with Bosch appliances ? oven, induction cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and double fridge ? stainless steel bench, marble splashback and large pantry
The garden is a micro-climate significantly protected from the prevailing winds. Its fruits trees ? feijoas, persimmons, Satsuma plums, lemons, limes, mandarin ? and other established trees ? robinia frisia, flowering cherries ? create a productive and leafy living space in the summer and become open and bright in the winter. The soil is fertile and could be a gardeners delight, but is also easy to maintain with its present plantings that yield flowers throughout the year ? bluebells, camellias, white and blue Iris and hydrangeas among them.
The garden studio could be an extra bedroom or workspace, a spacious 18sqm with large windows and good light.
No off-street parking, but Freemans Bay is close to public transport and motorways, 20 minutes walk to the Viaduct and city, five to Ponsonby Road with its excellent cafes and popular shopping precincts.
City skyline views are stunning from upstairs balcony is stunning at night.
The present owner has lived here for 30 years and is only selling to retire from the city.
This is a significantly private contemporary home for easy living.
