The location, the street, and the sheer volume of this home ensure standout appeal. Intuitively adapted for 21st century family living, the 1950s residence boasts extensive modifications and additions, and employs a number of fantastic features to enhance liveability. Its plaster over concrete block finish gives a smooth modern look, double-glazed joinery (excl. some doors and both garages) promotes everyday comfort, and the two-level layout provides versatile living options. Many uses spring to mind with the downstairs configuration, including Airbnb, boarders, teenage or extended family accommodation, and work from home opportunities. The sky's the limit as there is certainly no shortage of space thanks to a double bedroom, a single car garage or utility shed, and a large lounge that could be used as a dedicated home theatre or rumpus. Four of the five double bedrooms extend across the first floor, including a spacious master with an ensuite and big walk-in wardrobe. One of the bedrooms, as well as the open plan living domain, open to a covered balcony with a leafy, elevated outlook. Parents can chill out on a deck chair and watch the kids frolic in the backyard. Very giving, this home encompasses a centrally positioned office, a family bathroom, and a decent-sized laundry opening to a double garage. Gas infinity hot water is a bonus. Impeccably presented inside and out, the 868sqm property delivers an iconic Hillcrest lifestyle in a prized residential pocket close to the university, schools, shops and services. The integrity of the quiet, established street has not been compromised and its charm is still very much intact. Property Files Link: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/776350003
