If you’re looking for an opportunity to buy in a top location, without the fat price tag, you ought to be checking out this unfinished gem in Eastcliffe Road, Castor Bay. The owner began this project in 1997, and as a boat builder, he’s made a beautiful job of the interior, with polished matai floors, rimu cabinetry and a gorgeous rimu feature ceiling in the dining room.

Very serious owner wants it SOLD!

Unfortunately, the house has never actually been completed as per the original plans, and consequently hasn’t been signed off by the council. To get code compliance, it will have to be reclad according to the new building code. No worries at all for a good builder!

It’s a great house for entertaining, with a semi-enclosed deck off the living room, north facing with views over Castor Bay beach. The garden is small and easy to look after.

One of the best things about this home is that the beach is really handy – there’s a walkway just along the road that’ll get you there in just a few minutes. Campbells Bay Primary and Westlake High are your local schools, and Milford Shopping Centre is just a few minutes drive away.

Give Tony a call on 0800 61 8888 to arrange a private viewing.

The location is second to none – in zone for Campbells Bay Primary and Westlake High School, handy to beach, shops, golf course and parks, with a wonderful elevation that affords views from Rangitoto to the Sky Tower, with Lake Pupuke in between. Uber-cool main bedroom and ensuite with especially good views, double vanity, double shower, dark timber cabinetry and Italian tiles. To be sold by auction. Call Tony for details on 0800 61 8888

Solid and semi detached - a huge opportunity

Bigger than your average unit, 2/8 Brook Street is a deceased estate to be sold at auction on 18 October @ 7pm.

Spacious open plan living, 2 good sized double bedrooms, and internal access single garage – it’s all looking a bit rundown and shabby and could do with a complete makeover. It has exclusive use areas for gardens and outdoor living, part of which is fenced, and there’s plenty you could do to further enhance the exterior. Very handy to Smale’s Farm and bus station, Nth Shore hospital and all the health practitioners on Shakespeare Rd. There’s even a dairy at the corner.

Open Sat/Sun 1:30 – 2:00 Call Tony 0800 61 8888

Open plan living opens through bifold doors to northfacing deck

Park Rise in Campbells Bay is a very special enclave, blessed with over 40 acres of regenerating native bush and parkland, as well as tennis courts and a golf course. It’s also very handy to Campbells Bay beach and reserve – a  popular local picnic spot and safe swimming beach. The quiet, leafy neighbourhood is well established, with a good mix of families, professional couples and retirees who love this wonderful environment.

67a Park Rise is sited in a quiet,  secluded position, well away from the road, overlooking a pretty dell. With 1448 square metres of land, there’s a luxurious and somewhat rare sense of space, with trees to climb, space for huts and boisterous games, as well as the option to subdivide and develop.

Kitchen, family room and lounge open onto spacious, sundrenched deck.

Totally refurbished, elegant and spacious, the substantial weatherboard home retains a  sense of its traditional origins, yet has all the hallmarks of a thoroughly modern family home. A large, integrated living space, with sleek granite kitchen and polished timber floors, opens out to the equally generous, sundrenched deck. Adjoining this great family area, there’s a separate lounge – a more intimate space with a gas fire and access to the deck – as well as a third living room (with direct access to the garden) on the lower level.

The home has four double bedrooms (two up and two down), two spacious bathrooms, a guest toilet and a utility room or office. The entire house is presented as new, with careful attention to detail both inside and out. Oodles of off-street parking for visitors, boat and trailer, paved courtyards and a level lawn complete this super family home. There’s even a garden shed to lock away your garden equipment.

This property is also special for its school zoning. Students have the choice of attending either Rangitoto College or Westlake High. And, of course, Campbells Bay Primary is just up the road, with a walking schoolbus to ensure your children  get there safe and healthy.

To view the property, call Tony on 0800 61 8888 or email tony.white@harcourts.co.nz

If these don’t have you leaping off the couch with excitement, there is another option – a home which has been designed and built specifically with YOU in mind. Unique and perfectly formed, this smart two bedroom townhouse doesn’t scrimp on space. There’s plenty of room to entertain friends and family, perhaps have the occasional guest sleep over, but it’s not big enough for your kids to move back home or store their STUFF. It’s set on a cross-leased site, yet it’s fully fenced and very private. The gardens are lush and gorgeous, yet there’re no lawns to suck up your weekends.

Constructed in vertical cedar, with copper spouting and tiled roof, this home has been crafted with careful attention to detail. The bathrooms are luxurious, the kitchen is well laid out and finished in granite, the ambient temperature is under your control thanks to the heat pump / air conditioning unit and ceiling fans, and it’s fully insulated.

If you’re thinking this property is out of your price range, then consider this: Sometimes cost does not equal value. But on this occasion, you’ll agree when you come to see for yourself, this home will represent superb value for money in anyone’s language.

This is a superb love nest, perfect for those starting over with their old lover, or their new. The master suite occupies the whole of the mezzanine floor, including a walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite bathroom. There’s a small office and private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee with a peek of the sea.  Downstairs, the open plan living has a wonderful sense of light and space with its soaring double height ceiling, while the adjoining lounge area has a more intimate feel. Double doors open out to the deck and paved courtyard – a delightful space to entertain friends, soak up the sun throughout the day, or simply enjoy the sultry summer nights together. The main bathroom is of luxury proportions, finished in Italian tiles, with a whisper jet bath to soothe away the cares of the day and kick off your evening of romance.

Whether you’re a single or a couple, retired or getting close to it, this may just be the perfect lock-up-and-leave option for those great holidays or business trips you’ll be taking, and a sunny, sophisticated home that you’ll be proud to own. For more information or to view, call Tony 0800 61 8888.

LIM Report

Title

Floorplan

This is a house that demands to be noticed. Sitting in prime position on the corner of Katui Street and Seaview Road, the property has awesome views over Milford Beach, Milford Marina and Lake Pupuke, as well as the lights of downtown Auckland. The Hauraki Gulf, with Rangitoto Island taking centre stage, is framed by a quaint, historic church and a pohutukawa tree, stunning in its crimson Christmas flourish.

The front garden is whimsical, with formal topiaried trees and clipped edges arranged in an asymmetrical pattern. There is a sense of abundance and fun about the landscaping which is echoed in the interior. Plush red carpet and tafetta drapes, parquette flooring and gold accents. Built in the 1970s, this is one of those big, solid-as-a-rock brick and block homes with sprawling open plan living rooms, a generous kitchen where friends and family gather, 4 double bedrooms, 3 modern bathrooms, a spa pool in the conservatory, and a rumpus room for the growing teens.The big, glorious views are supported by a big, spacious home. Both are larger than life, vibrant, exciting and energising…

What I really like though is that this is a family home, with space for veges, a lawn to play on and tons of opportunity for the ordinary things of family life. Close by is the beach ( Castor Bay has a great network of paths leading to down to the shore), the marina, the shops and, of course, the schools that make this area so sought after. It’s easy to get to work, the motorway and public transport are close by, and the booming commercial areas of Takapuna, Milford and Smales Farm are right at hand.

Homes in Katui Street don’t come to the market very often and astute buyers looking for position in the dress circle of Castor Bay should act now. This home is to be sold on 26 January, 2011, so do not delay. The seller’s life has changed and this home is now in the past as they find a new future. Make their sacrifice your gain.
