The undeniable cottage charm of this delightful Cook Hitchcock Sargisson 1979 designed hideaway captures the romance and charm of an earlier era. The ease of access into the large single garage was important to the seller's parents when they bought 16 years ago. The elegant English feeling sitting room overlooks the north facing garden, which is paved, private and perfect for outdoor entertaining. The downstairs study contains all the paraphernalia necessary to run the business side of our lives. The master bedroom opens out on to the garden. Up a typical Cook, Hitchcock and Sargisson staircase is another bedroom that is nestled in the eaves of the roof. This cedar clad 130 sqm home, the middle one of three, sits on a flat north facing freehold section of just 245 sq metres. This is a perfectly livable and gently worn sanctuary of peaceful living. Even if you are not ready to downsize yet, you should go ahead and purchase this rather rare offering. You may not easily find such a congenial home again. This gorgeous little part of Double Grammar Remuera is very lively. Every day you can wander down to the Orakei Bay Village or Benson Road Village for flowers, coffee, shopping and dinner. You can walk your dog around Orakei Basin or plan family picnics at the Martyn Wilson Fields. Train trips into town from Orakei station are so easy you might just find you hardly ever use your car. Be prepared to be charmed! CV $1,280,000 ...
