Four Bedroom Spacious Character Home

Two upstairs, and two downstairs bedrooms make this spacious four-bedroom, single bathroom character home in historic Helensville, ideal for family living. Alternatively, one of the downstairs bedroom doors leads directly outside to the driveway making it an ideal work-from-home option since visiting clients wouldn't need to come into your private living space. This roomy comfortable single bay transitional villa (villa incorporating characteristics of the Californian bungalow) is believed to have been built circa 1920 but was relocated to its current site in 1985. The vendor has executed some lovely renovations throughout, including a modern kitchen and bathroom, but there's still room if you want to make your own mark on the property. Plenty of privacy here too since the house is set down off the road, and if you're even mildly romantic, you'll enjoy the bath with the sash window open staring up at the stars. A huge deck at the rear ensures privacy and gets you that all important sunshine along with views of the McKenzie Hills, and if it's too sunny for comfort, then the front verandah is a cooler option. This home has a warm friendly atmosphere with soaring ceilings upstairs, and all the quirks and character such grand old ladies have, but you really do need to visit this one to fully appreciate the vibes here. The owner needs to downsize and is moving to the beach which means someone, maybe you, is going to be lucky and have this home for themselves. It's very close to Helensville's village centre with medical centre, cafes, and library, and primary and secondary schools are within a few minutes' walk each, and the Parakai Hot Springs are a couple of kilometres away. Three major shopping centres are within half an hours' drive and Auckland CBD is about 45 minutes outside of rush hours. This one is a beauty. Come and see her!
