A spacious and very stylishly renovated 1920s transitional Kauri bungalow, with and inner city feel and a super convenient location. This stunning property includes two separate architect-designed timber clad contemporary studios, and comes with further potential to personalize or add value to the main house.
The studios themselves are beautiful and light structures, with sleek lines and thick recycled Matai flooring, tying in well with the original bungalow's timber flooring - creating a visually aesthetic connection between the old and the new portions of the home. A deep grey exterior creates another 'visual bridge', mimicking the past when creosote was commonly used to preserve weatherboards. Doors and windows outside are defined by a clear and intense red, echoing bright bursts of the pohutukawa. Inside, a black and white palette with rich, black granite bench-tops in the recently remodeled kitchen area, and lofty white ceilings extend throughout most of the interior spaces.
Warm winters are ensured with the recent addition of insulation, heat pump, HRV system and a traditional tiled fireplace in the main dwelling's living area, with cast iron grate and Kauri surround. The large and newly renovated bathroom features ceramic tiles and rose shower. There are also three spacious double bedrooms, plus a study.
Outdoor living is presented with some good options including two large decks, one smaller at the rear of the dwelling. There is an established veggie garden, two kowhai trees, a pohutukawa, feijoa trees - plus a private outdoor claw-foot bath.
Less than a minute's walk to city-bound buses, and an easy ten-minute stroll to New Lynn trains.
