Privately positioned behind secure gates and set across an expansive 1,217sqm of beautifully landscaped grounds, this exceptional family residence is being offered to the market for the first time in 19 years.

A tree-lined driveway and grand approach set the tone, leading to a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully renovated home where timeless character and modern family living come together effortlessly. An elegant entrance foyer, complete with impressive period detailing and ornate plaster ceilings, provides a memorable welcome.

Designed with both family living and entertaining in mind, the home offers a choice of beautifully appointed living spaces. A separate media room with an electric fireplace provides the perfect retreat for relaxed evenings, while the formal lounge, centred around a gas fireplace, delivers warmth, elegance and enduring character. A guest bathroom on the lower level adds further convenience for family and visitors.

At the heart of the home, the modern kitchen, dining and family living area flows seamlessly outdoors to an exceptional entertaining environment. A covered outdoor living area with its own fireplace creates the perfect setting for year-round gatherings, overlooking the large heated concrete swimming pool, spa pool, expansive irrigated lawn and beautifully landscaped gardens. North-facing, private and fully fenced, the grounds offer an idyllic setting for families of all ages.

Accommodation is equally impressive, with a spacious master suite featuring its own ensuite, complemented by three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Adding another layer of flexibility, a separate self-contained cottage provides a bedroom, bathroom, living area and loft, making it ideal for guests, extended family, teenagers or those seeking additional accommodation. A separate office positioned within the gardens further enhances the versatility of the property, providing an ideal work-from-home space away from the main residence.

Complete with double garaging, excellent storage and secure gated entry, this is a substantial family property in one of Mt Eden's most desirable locations. Enjoy the convenience of being just a two-minute stroll from the cafes, restaurants and village atmosphere of Mt Eden, while benefiting from sought-after school zoning for Auckland Grammar School, Epsom Girls Grammar School, Auckland Normal Intermediate and Mt Eden Normal School.
