Cherished by the same family for the past 28 years, this 1163sqm (more or less) freehold estate is part of a tightly held, sought-after Hillcrest neighbourhood and presents spacious family living at its very best. Manicured lawns, park-like gardens and a resort-style heated swimming pool complex further enhance the appeal, as does the large ground floor lounge, bedroom and bathroom area - the ideal teenage pad, extended family accommodation or business premises.

The quiet, picturesque cul-de-sac is well-connected, within walking distance to Takapuna Golf Course, Smales Farm, AUT, North Shore Events Centre, Sunnybrae Primary, local shops and restaurants. In zone for Takapuna Normal Intermediate and Northcote College. Excellent public transport options are nearby with motorway onramps, Takapuna, Milford and East Coast Bays beaches just a short drive from home.

Tucked away from the street behind security gates, there is abundant off-street parking for extra cars, a motorhome and a boat, along with a double garage and workshop area. The expansive floorplan offers up to five bedrooms, three living areas and three bathrooms, with the proportions and flexible layout able to grow with your family. The open-plan kitchen, dining/living space plus the large formal lounge opening out to the perfectly north-facing alfresco living and easy-care, tropical gardens all make for easy entertaining. Guests can spill out onto the terrace and flat lawns, while kids enjoy endless summer fun in the heated inground pool.

Also on this level are the formal dining room and fifth bedroom/large office. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, plus the ground floor bedroom, bathroom and large lounge downstairs, which also has a large adaptable storage room.

The owners have raised their children and celebrated many milestone occasions here. They're now ready to move on and let another lucky family start their lifetime of memories.

A surprise truly awaits - call Joan today to arrange your viewing appointment.
