19 Roadley Avenue, Sunnyhills, Manukau City, Auckland, 2010, New Zealand
The friendly family-oriented neighbourhood this gorgeous two storey residence is close to so many of the facilities your growing tribe will need. The five minutes it takes on foot or by scooter to Sunnyhills Primary School without crossing a road, is just the beginning.
But let’s take the tour first because there’s a lot to see. Privately positioned on a corner site, all day sun drenches your lush established gardens abundant with generous vegetable gardens and a multitude of fruit trees in the mini orchard. Step up to elevated and spacious main living with wonderful views of the harbour, Mount Wellington and Sky Tower’s tip.
Original timber floors and joinery complement the neutral contemporary dcor and fantastic indoor/outdoor flow to a huge wraparound deck enabling you and your guests to watch dazzling sunsets as the steaks sizzle on the barbecue. Stunning country-style kitchen with loads of cabinetry and a large pantry suits sizable families – as do the four bedrooms and three bathrooms split over both levels.
Extra living space on the ground floor has multiple options as a rumpus for the kids, a home office or studio/clinic with own access. As a former nursery school play-space the garden is child-friendly and features a delightful playhouse for hours of make-believe for the youngsters. In addition to school proximity including a 10-minute walk to St Kentigern College, this incredible home is a short distance away from Botany Town Centre, Sylvia Park, playgrounds, sailing and sports activities including the popular Lloyd Elsmore Park Pool and Leisure Centre. In 10 minutes, you can be on the Half Moon Bay ferry to downtown Auckland or for landlubbers the bus stop and train station are also handy.
