52a Killarney Street, Takapuna, North Shore City, Auckland, 0622, New Zealand

It is hard to believe that there is still a freestanding gorgeous home on 321sqm freehold in the middle of Takapuna. This rear home is one of two built in 2005 and owned by the same family since new. Secure and private you will love the downstairs living that opens out on both the East and West sides to the gardens and decks. Let the children play as it’s all fenced here.

In an unbeatable location just across from Killarney Park, Pumphouse, Lake Pupuke and walkable to Takapuna village. Bigger than expected this weatherboard home focuses around the central kitchen which is open plan and flanked on one side by dining room to the left and lounge with fireplace to the right and the layout not only provides for convivial family time but also holds undeniable appeal for professionals as well. A huge sliding door opens to the lawn with ground level deck that is perfect for an evening BBQ on the western side – collecting all that great evening sun. Also on the ground floor is a double garage with internal entry, guest powder room and laundry that makes life easy for busy lives. For those searching for that all important indoor/outdoor flow, this house has great access from the main living area to the private backyard and is suitable for pets and or kids. Upstairs has 4 very generously sized bedrooms, master en suite and walk in robe, family bathroom and ample storage. It is hard to find a free standing home in this area anymore, where apartments and terraced houses now rule the roost, so spread out here on your own parcel of land – as Mark Twain said “buy land, they aren’t making any more.” So close to the Takapuna shopping precinct, schools (zoned for Westlake Girls and Takapuna Grammar) with Taharoto Park, Takapuna Beach and motorway access nearby this home ticks a lot of boxes due to its proximity to all the local amenities on offer.

Two off-street car parks and double garage – hard to believe really.
