Orakei - Elegant Home on Colossal Site

Description

The street appeal is indisputable, but this charming brick and tile classic with water and city views also sits on a colossal 1,049 sqm (approx.) section zoned Mixed Housing Urban. Located on a prestigious bays' peninsula close to amenities, beaches and the city, discerning developer buyers are urged to crunch the numbers, do the due diligence, and consider the future. Alternatively, families may look to renovate and include a pool in this idyllic property's massive child-friendly back yard.

Ornate interior elements retain some of the home's 1940s heritage instilling a sense of romantic glamour. Plaster cornices and distinctive decorative doors define the entrance foyer and vast open plan north facing sitting room. Durable timber floors underpin this and the separate kitchen where a contemporary take has been applied to incorporate underbench cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances including Bosch oven. French doors featuring etched glazing directly access a large back patio for alfresco entertaining. Upstairs bedrooms are attractively carpeted, have plantation shutters and capture the views with supersized master comprising a walk-in robe while two creamy travertine marble bathrooms - one on each floor - serve the whole household. There's masses of storage and a separate laundry with ample parking on site for multiple vehicles down a concrete driveway on the eastern boundary.

Walking distance to Orakei School and in zone also for Selwyn College with local shops, Orakei Basin and Eastridge precinct all nearby. This superb property in a prime locale is also within close commute of the CBD by car or public transport and offers a huge range of project opportunities for those who move quick to secure this unprecedented offering.
