53 Chequers Avenue, Glenfield, North Shore City, Auckland, 0629, New Zealand

Set on 984sqm (more or less) of gently contoured freehold land this long-held residence is well-oriented on the site to capture endless afternoon sun and has an old-school feel combined with great indoor-outdoor flow on the top level enabling breezy entertaining all through the summer months.

Situated down a long near-level drive off a lovely street in this family-friendly suburb, the grassy section ensures that little ones and pets can run around safely in privacy lending the property a true sense of being in a quiet world of its own.

All three upstairs bedrooms are well-positioned away from the living area – allowing little ones to be tucked away in the evening – and the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining is oriented to an invigorating green outlook providing a discernable sense of peace, welcome and comfort.

Downstairs the consented granny flat contains a kitchen, bathroom, lounge and two bedrooms making this the perfect spot to accommodate extended family or a flatmate that appreciates their own space.

Excellent off-street parking is complemented by a well-sized garage providing additional flexible space. With block and timber cladding this is one of those homes that feels pleasingly solid, resolutely welcoming and offers the back yard of children’s dreams.

Astute buyers will investigate the development potential and enjoy the great local facilities such as Marlborough School, Glenfield Intermediate, Glenfield College and bus routes on the adjacent streets.
