14 West View Road, Westmere, Auckland City, Auckland

Country Lifestyle + City Convenience

Why take the risk of the lifestyle block dream only to realise you still love being close to the city. This unique home has all the feeling of being tucked away in your own private paradise, so maybe it's just the answer to your family country home dream.

This property started life as one of the 1920's stucco workman's cottages and is now, due to extensive and sympathetic renovations, unrecognisable. This included a two story rear extension which has taken this cottage to a whole new level.

Now offering five to six bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living and study, it's the perfect family home. Many character features remain, from the solid timber floors, original doors and open fireplace. You will just love the warmth and atmosphere this home provides all year round.

Spacious open plan rear living and dining that open onto the deck and garden with a view of the lake and stunning sunsets.

The large kitchen offers the best kitchen sink views around, there are also two huge walk-in pantries that could be converted into an amazing scullery.

There is a second living room and 3 bedrooms plus bathroom and separate laundry room on the ground floor. Upstairs find the other three bedrooms with the master having its own balcony and expansive views of the lake.

There is so much more to this amazing home, set in the idyllic back garden is an amazing approx. 100m2 two story height studio / workshop. With two sets of double height doors this studio will have mass appeal to artists, musicians, car enthusiasts and anyone wanting to work from home. Alternatively extend the home into this amazing space.

There is room for a pool if desired and the grounds are just magical with breath-taking natural views of Western Spring Lake and Park. Enjoy the wildlife, including the guests at the Zoo, the roar of the lions and the chatter of the monkeys, visits from Pukekos, Bunnies and native birds like the Kias.

Grow your own food to accompany the already abundant offering of Feijoas, Apples, Grapes, Figs, Lemon, Limes and Mandarins - YUM.

Plenty of parking behind a secure double width driveway and gates.

All this and only a short distance to Westmere and West Lynn shops and cafes and the bohemian, urban culture it offers.
