6 Dudley Road, Mission Bay, Auckland City 1071

Designed to follow the sun and maximise the superb Rangitoto and water views, this beautifully maintained and presented north facing 1980s home has been the setting for a wealth of happy family occasions over the past 32 years. Built by the current owners and nestled in a peaceful, private setting, it’s so quiet you can almost hear the proverbial pin drop. Ranging over two levels, the brick and cedar entertainer’s residence embraces a family sized swimming pool, the focal point of many a memorable party. Expansive decking reaches out from the living rooms to create more living spaces for summertime fun and large gatherings. The feeling throughout is one of easy living – undemanding, yet generous. Sunshine pours into the casual living spaces at every turn and the kitchen with its underfloor heating, chunky granite bench tops and native timber cabinetry is a welcoming hub for convivial catch ups as well as cooking up a storm. On the upper level there’s a family bathroom, four double bedrooms – large and comfortable with master having a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The added elevation enhances the spectacular views up here as do the additional balconies. A double garage with internal access, separate laundry and good storage takes care of the functional aspects of this unique home. There’s off street parking for additional cars and the proximity to Eastridge shops, the beaches and the sea shore cafes is a bonus. Zoned for Kohimarama School and Selwyn College, this is a home for growing families who are busy entertainers wanting a low maintenance lifestyle to match.
