Description
Held for over two decades, this cherished home now presents an exciting opportunity to secure space, sunshine and serious potential in a tightly held hillside setting set on a stunning 1131sqm freehold section.
Elevated to capture sweeping treetop views stretching toward the city, the home is filled with natural light and a sense of openness. While its 1950's character interiors remain intact, there's clear scope here to refresh, renovate and truly make it your own - adding value in a location that will always reward it. Having been reclad in Celcrete, the home's exterior now showcases a clean, contemporary finish that enhances both its street appeal and overall durability.
Offering four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout is family-friendly and functional, with room to grow and adapt over time. The main living flows effortlessly out to a generous north-facing deck - a natural hub for entertaining, relaxing in the sun, or watching kids play on the lawn below.
The outdoors are a standout. Established fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden and glasshouse create a lifestyle that's both practical and rewarding, while the expansive lawn offers space for families, pets and weekend enjoyment.
Practicality is well covered too with partial double glazing, a log burner, double internal-access garaging, plus a separate single garage and ample off-street parking - ideal for growing families or those needing extra storage or workspace.
Zoned for sought-after schooling including Cashmere High and Beckenham Primary, and set in a location known for its lifestyle appeal with the hill trails nearby, this is a property where you can move in, make plans, and unlock the full potential over time.
With our vendors downsizing after 24 years, it's time for a new family to come and make this home. Our instructions are clear and they want this sold.
Please note that the main driveway access for this property is further uphill than expected, past 20 Whaka Terrace and beside the red, single garage next to 23 Whaka Terrace.
