On the market for the first time in 45 years, this 898sqm (more or less) estate celebrates the very best in family living, right at the heart of Mairangi Bay. The owners have raised their children to adulthood here and have loved the incredibly peaceful neighbourhood, great space and sensational sea views. Families, land bankers and astute developers will recognise the benefits of its extraordinary position and proportions, plus the future potential it presents.

The location is second to none, within easy walking distance from Mairangi Bay village shops, eateries and beautiful beach. It's handy to the local sports grounds, tennis and bowls clubs, as well as close to the motorway onramps. Families will love the zoning for three Decile 10 schools; Mairangi Bay School, Murrays Bay Intermediate and Rangitoto College, children don't need to cross a road on the walk to Mairangi Bay School.

Crafted from solid block and cedar by a local builder, the elevated home has great street appeal and is framed with tropical landscaping. It's designed in a U-shape around a central outdoor area, which works perfectly for young kids. All day sun floods the casual living, dining and kitchen space, where large picture windows showcase views over the valley and out to the Hauraki Gulf. Across the hallway, the large separate lounge flows out to the north-facing deck with glass balustrade. Ducted central heating, high-quality insulation and partial double glazing ensure it's a very warm and dry home.

There are three bedrooms serviced by the family upstairs, with another large rumpus room, bedroom and ensuite on the ground floor. This area downstairs presents the ideal home office, teenage retreat or guest suite.

This freehold site is fenced with expansive lawns at the rear with plenty of room for kids to play. Also presents an enticing opportunity for development, thanks to Mixed Housing Suburban zoning.
