69 Pine Street, Mount Eden, Auckland, 1041, New Zealand

You would not want to judge this book by its cover. A handsome bungalow – absolutely, but so much more than it first appears. Situated in a sought after leafy Mt Eden street, this home offers a generous, two-storey floorplan including four double bedrooms, and a superb social kitchen and family room centred around a large island bench, fit for all occasions. This flows through to the light and spacious, separate lounge. Together these spaces work perfectly for busy family life and make entertaining a breeze, particularly with the easy step through to the private, north-facing deck. Both the main bedroom ensuite and family bathrooms are stylishly specified and there’s the added convenience of a separate laundry. Downstairs features a dedicated, customised media/movie theatre, fully sound-proof and complete with luxurious, leather recliners – a very special addition to this home. On this level there’s also a separate large office or second lounge or rumpus, a third bathroom plus seriously huge garaging and ample storage with a workshop or gym area. Impeccably maintained and beautifully presented this home is easy walking distance from both Balmoral and Sandringham villages and close to St Lukes Mall and public transport links. In zone for sought after Balmoral Primary and Intermediate and Mt Albert Grammar Schools this is a bungalow of uncommon proportions and rare benefits that must be inspected to be fully appreciated.
