Grey Lynn - Last weekend to view

Description

Auction: at 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 8 May 2024 at 1:30PM (unless sold prior)

This charming 1900s character bungalow, nestled behind a private and secure front wall, offers a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of desirable West Lynn, a vibrant family-friendly suburb attracting creatives, foodies, and professionals.

The location is truly special: stroll to the Grey Lynn Farmer's Market on Sunday, enjoy lunch at Honey Bones, walk the dog through Grey Lynn Park, and attend a gym class at one of the many nearby studios. For dinner, choose from Smokin' Coles, Master & Margherita, Freida's, and Lillian, one of the city's best restaurants, just steps from your front door. Motorway access and public transport links are convenient.

Inside, natural light floods the interior, highlighting polished wooden floors leading to an entertainer's lounge, kitchen, and back deck with Sky Tower views. The custom-built chef's kitchen - originally designed for hosting cooking classes - features a sprawling granite island and ample storage for appliances and gadgets. The private leafy backyard is a slice of paradise - with avocados, citrus and figs to snack on - is an ideal space for entertaining friends, kids, pets, and potential for a swimming pool. 

In the house, privacy and comfort are enhanced with insulation, hush glass, and heat pumps throughout the three bedrooms, and a European-style family bathroom boasts underfloor heating and a spa bath. The attic provides storage a-plenty and exciting potential for an upper-floor expansion, looking out over Grey Lynn to Cox's Bay; previously council-approved architectural designs are available to view at open homes. The enormous under-house garage offers parking, workshop space, garden tool storage, or a place to store business supplies.

Don't miss this opportunity; with so much to offer, make this gorgeous home your own.
