Auckland Property

Nestled in the leafy hills that define Titirangi, this gorgeous, character-filled, 1950s bungalow is located on South Titirangi Road, host to many of the Village's most beautiful and atmospheric homes. It rests on a ridgeline boasting a view which, even on its own, justifies the epithet Fringe of Heaven. This charming residence is bathed in year-round sunshine, and enjoys a startlingly pretty view across the valley toward the picturesque 'Little Muddy Creek'. On the other side, the property faces the breathlessly beautiful silver-blue Manukau Harbour, with a short walk down to a pristine and isolated bay. Held by the same family for almost 50 years, this home is stamped with decades of happy memories and retains many lovingly maintained period features including gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows with French doors opening to the deck, and richly toned glossy Matai floors that echo with the sound of little feet. Also featured are elegant and seldom found internal multiple pane glass doors, and a whimsical cottage style front garden. Airy and light, with three bedrooms and three living spaces, including an open plan kitchen and dining area that flows seamlessly out to the sun-filled deck with sweeping views, a wonderfully casual sunroom, and an elegant formal lounge for relaxation or a respite from the inevitable busyness of family evenings, this home has plenty of space for entertaining and day-to-day living. Below the house, the huge flower-strewn site has paths trailing through the waterfall of greenery. Development, subject to council approval, may be possible. However, retaining this sensational property as it is presents children with a veritable secret garden"a place to play and dream under the blue unclouded weather of all the summers to come. Move in immediately to enjoy the charm and character offered by the home's beautiful layout and classic materials as it rests on the pleasingly landscaped 1214sqm (more or less) site, or explore the options presented by this perfectly formed canvas to create something exceptional. This cottage is a small step from exquisite. Homes of such quality are not often available, and 671 South Titirangi is utterly compelling. Your inspection is essential. Call Anna or Bruce to view.
