Located in what is Mount Wellington’s best-kept secret – this astonishing Waipuna Cove property is zoned Residential - Mixed Housing Suburban. A real retro treasure with huge potential, the home is sited at the end of a long driveway close to upmarket properties on the shores of Panmure Basin and Tamaki River waterways. The mellowing Mediterranean inspired residence brims with possibilities and has all the attributes to appeal to developers, renovators, builders, investors and family buyers.
The 333 sqm (approx.) king sized two storey residence has character elements from its groovy 1980 past with a ground floor layout revolving around a colossal living room with high raked ceilings, parquet flooring and retro tile trimmed sunken ‘conversation pit’ lounge. This and a separate formal dining room flow out to a colonnade and the huge north facing patio while a modernised kitchen with laminate benchtops integrating a breakfast bar adjoins the sizable laundry. Upstairs, a family room includes a kitchenette and has multiple exits to covered and open air rooftop patios and large balcony with vistas to boats at anchorage on the river. Bedrooms include upper level presidential main quarters with high raked timber ceiling, outdoor access, an anteroom, walk in closet and upgraded ensuite bathroom. A second upstairs bedroom similarly has walk in closet while those downstairs share a family bathroom.
Masses of parking and forecourt parking on the driveway leading up to the freestanding double garage within fenced 1174 sqm (approx.) grounds featuring tropical plantings and mature fruit trees – there’s even a banana palm! In zone for Sylvia park School and close to Panmure Basin walkways, this unique property has vital transport hubs within minutes of home and is a short drive to the largest shopping mall in New Zealand at Sylvia Park.
