Located near the summit of Kowhai Rd and enjoying outstanding gulf sea views from Whangaparoa to the Coromandel, this expansive solid 1960s partially renovated weatherboard home with an attached two bedroom self-contained flat on a large site, will appeal to large families, extended families, those looking for a home and an income, and developers. In the main home, built over two levels, the open plan kitchen, dining, lounge and deck bask in all day sun so it is easy to relax with a coffee and view the boats and the glistening gulf, or at night, the spectacular lights of a passing cruise ship. From the private deck watch the children play safely in the established gardens which are easily accessed by the connecting stairs. Three bedrooms are upstairs with a combined bathroom and toilet, and downstairs is one bedroom, living area and bathroom which could be a great teenage pad, home office. The private and spacious one-level two bedroom, two bathroom attached flat enjoys almost the same amazing vista from the open plan living areas, with good flow to a tiled patio and grounds and is perfect for extended families, visitors, or a rental. Garaging includes a single basement internal access garage, a carport for the flat plus multiple off street parks. The 903 sq m site (more or less) is zoned Mixed Housing Urban with potential development opportunity for up to three houses, but you will need to do your own due diligence. In a family friendly location, it is close to Mairangi Bay Village and it's many community amenities, cafes, beaches and coastal walkways. Centennial Park and the golf course are nearby, and it's handy to public transport, the motorway, and an easy walk to local Decile 10 schools. Zoned for Rangitoto and both Westlake High Schools. After 50 years of living in Mairangi Bay our vendors are downsizing so this is your opportunity to add value by renovation, rent out the flat to offset the mortgage, accommodate the extended family, or possibly develop to maximise this unique investment-view without delay
