Much loved for many years, the kids have now grown and flown, so this substantial, beautifully presented inner city home, which also has sea views, can now be yours.

There's a subtle sense of intrigue as to what lies beyond that classic black and white street frontage, and an instant appeal and anticipation from the moment of approach.

Sun-soaked living rooms flow from one to another, opening to the large North facing deck which overlooks a lush green lawn and sheltered, easy-care private garden, the perfect place for children or pets to play.

Renovations and extensions. over the years have enhanced existing character features including beautiful plaster ceilings, and the warm richness of restored rimu detail throughout.

The latest upgrades include two striking brand new bathrooms and sleek, gourmet kitchen which is sure to please with quality surfaces, cabinetry, and appliances which include two full sized ovens, gas hob and sizeable pantry.

Bedrooms are on both levels, five in all, PLUS the bonus of a semi self-contained studio which has internal access to use as you choose - extended family, teenage retreat, work from home or continue to use as an AirBnB as it also has it's own separate access.

Other features include gas ducted central heating, heat pump, large garden shed and private spa courtyard, off street parking and that "oh so hard to find" extra large 3 bay garaging with additional space for workbench, bikes and more.

So close to so much - Pukekura Park across the road, kindergarten, schools, Polytechnic, Racecourse, Stadium, concerts and WOMAD at Brooklands Bowl, restaurants, cafes and the CBD, this dress circle location is hard to beat.

Video and also the 3D floor plan/walkthrough tour are worth checking out.
