15 Robley Crescent, Glendowie, Auckland, 1071, New Zealand

First time on the market in 20 years. With up to 6 bedrooms it would suit a large family, or alternatively offers 4 bedrooms-plus-income via an independently accessed flat if modified to comply. Either way, as the area’s original farm-house, with a 2.85m stud and resplendent with multiple lead-light windows, it exudes charm, so will suit those who want a home with character. It has been sensitively extended and upgraded, and now offers:

A spacious open plan kitchen/diner with family area which flows on to expansive north-facing decking and a lawn over-looking Churchill Park

Practical living is provided by double cavity doors allowing an open-plan feel, or the living room to be separated. The open fire provides ambience and warmth for cozy family TV time

A cottage-style kitchen with granite & hardwood surfaces, kauri flooring, and a breakfast bar

Family bathroom with original claw-foot bath, separate shower, WC and a double vanity

The original Main bedroom has inbuilt wardrobe and beautiful lead-light windows

Master bedroom with walk-through wardrobe and ensuite, with external access via outdoor area, offering potential for home-and-income if modified.

With a delightful porch and wood-panelled entry hall, the home is completed by 4 other bedrooms (one currently a home office), and a separate laundry incorporating a 3rd WC.

On a private and low maintenance section with an elevated outlook, the home is 8 minutes walk to Churchill Park Primary School and Glendowie College (Decile 10), a few minutes more to Sacred Heart College. Just four minutes drive to the cafes and bars of St Heliers Village, on the edge of the iconic Waitemata Harbour, with easy commuting to the CBD, and just 30 mins to the airport, this home offers something for the whole family.
