<b>Northcote, Classic 1940's weatherboard home on huge 1252m2 north facing</b>
A real original 1940's beauty. A 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sitting on an increasingly rare 1252m2 site, more than the traditional '1/4 acre pavlova paradise'. The land goes down to the tidal waterfront reserve in Onepoto basin. Aprox 1/3 is in pohutukawa bush, and 2/3rds is in lawn- inground pool and the house.
The property has been owned by the same family for 41 years. It's been a very happy family home with lots of memories; the boys even used to launch their yacht from the bottom garden to get out to the harbour. Now it's time for a new family to gently renovate and bring new life into this very solid sunny and warm character home.
Family Lifestyle or Land Bank for Future Development???
PLEASE NOTE: The long western side of the property adjoins an undeveloped council access strip to the tidal reserve land. The owners' kindly mow this council grass but in turn obviously enjoy using it like their own. The current 2B Zoning (600m2 per dwelling) and the fact that the house spreads across the width of the section appear to suggest that any future development will depend on the possibility of a driveway easement over this council strip (certainly no easy ask!) or the shifting or turning of the house. We will leave buyers to do their own 'due diligence' on this and draw their own conclusions. However it's fair to say that big pieces of land like this so close to the city are as rare as 'hens teeth'.
Fast City Access Regardless of Peak Hour Traffic!
The bus stop is 20 paces from your letter box and there's no problem with peak hour gridlock being a mere 14 houses away from the motorway onramps North and South. This is about as close to the city as North Shore can offer. And yet the home is much quieter than one might expect for Onewa Rd. All the living and 3 out of the 4 bedrooms are on the far side of the house- away from the road (the north side).
Layout.
Rooms; 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a separated dining room, separate kitchen, a small nursery or study off the main bedroom, and a downstairs storage room. Construction; concrete tile roof and weatherboard exterior (probably Kauri) the floors are tongue and groove native timber. It's all pleasantly dated- very liveable and very likeable.
VIEWING: for Open Homes and Appointments.
It's suggested that buyers coming to the open homes or viewing by appointment park in either Bruce St or Queen St on the Northcote Point side, and then walk across the road to the property.
