316 West Tamaki Road, Glendowie, Auckland, 1072, New Zealand

Top school zones, great views and north facing poolside living – what’s not to love! Take a stroll around the Tahuna Torea Reserve and Glendowie Sandspit just down the road or exercise the dogs on the off-leash paths along the Tamaki River. On a lazy day, just stay at home and soak up the estuary and harbour views. Built in the 50’s and constructed in brick and weatherboard, this idyllic five-bedroom home underwent a complete, architecturally designed re-development in 2015. The result is a superb three level home with fresh, vibrant, light filled spaces offering three separate living areas. The main level features large open plan kitchen/ dining/ living, opening to a large sun-soaked deck overlooking the landscaped garden, level lawn and heated pool. Also on this level are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate laundry. On the upper level is the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus a lovely living area with spectacular and extensive gulf and estuary views – a real retreat. The home has ducted heating and cooling, solar panels for hot water and is completely double glazed and insulated. It also has a rainwater tank and irrigation system in the garden. There’s certainly a lot to love here! Your inspection is a must.
