2 Halston Road, Mount Eden, Auckland, 1024, New Zealand
With an upbeat, urban vibe, this quintessential Mt Eden bay villa seamlessly blends the traditional with contemporary. Thoughtfully modernised throughout, with a white on white colour palate, rich chocolate oak flooring, soft grey carpets, restored character architraving and sash windows. Generous double bedrooms peel off the inviting central hallway then opens up to an impressive kitchen/dining/living with soaring vaulted ceiling. This light, bright and spacious open plan features a stunning deep green marble island bench and exposed-edge ply kitchen cabinetry. Wide stacker slider doors lead out to the superb paved courtyard with outdoor fireplace and cedar hot tub – perfect for entertaining and relaxing. The peaceful, private walled garden beyond is beautifully landscaped, framed with mature Titoki, lush Honey Locust and an orchard of established fruit trees on a flat north facing park-like lawn. Along the garden path is the substantial stand-alone studio sleepout with ensuite – offering options for extended family, au pair, work from home or rental income. This sought after location is just around the corner from the bustling Dominion Rd eateries, Potters Park, Centennial Park and public transport options to the city and south with excellent school zones, Maungawhau Primary, Balmoral Intermediate and Mt Albert Grammar. Really must be viewed to be fully appreciated. A true sanctuary in the city.
