Expect the unexpected as you enter this incredibly spacious, resort-style retreat. The 1254sqm property is positioned well-away from the road down a private right-of-way and is a haven for family fun and entertaining.

Architecturally designed and solidly built in the 1970s, the 350sqm residence showcases distinctive design features of the time and encompasses five bedrooms, three full bathrooms plus a Guest toilet, four living areas and a stunning outdoor pool. The very flexible, functional floorplan works perfectly for children of all ages, as well as multigenerational living and working from home. It has abundant storage throughout, plus internal access to the triple garage and workshop.

Light filled living and dining areas flow out poolside, where the tropical ambiance is enhanced with a water feature and lush landscaping. Vast areas of elevated lawns and gardens offer surprising amounts of space for kids to play. The interiors have been well maintained and freshened with new paint and carpet. The kitchen is original with plenty of scope and space for a new incarnation, yet works perfectly well in the interim.

On this level there's another separate living space (or office) as well as the master suite with two dressing rooms and an ensuite. Upstairs, kids have their own wing. Four bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom and the sunny lounge flows out to a large deck and lawn area. Below this and enjoying excellent separation from the main home, the extended family accommodation or business premise has its own bathroom and separate entrance.

Well located at the very top of Sunnynook Road with easy motorway access and excellent public transport available. Pupuke Golf Club is just across the street and Mairangi Bay and Milford are a mere five-minutes away. In zone for a selection of top schools including Campbells Bay and Sunnynook Primary, Westlake Girls and Boys.

On the market for the first time in 18 years, this is an extraordinary family home in every respect and a major land banking opportunity.
