Popular school zones - well below CV

On the market for the first time in 36 years, this peaceful and private property enjoys expansive views of the Hauraki Gulf. It's perfectly proportioned for small families and first home buyers looking for a classic, comfortable home in a well-connected Mairangi Bay location.

The property is tucked at the very end of a quiet yet well-connected cul-de-sac, which is in zone for excellent schools that cater to every education stage journey - including Mairangi Bay School, Rangitoto College, Westlake Girls' High School and Murrays Bay Intermediate. The established neighbourhood is walking distance from Mairangi Bay village and beach, as well as handy to motorway onramps heading north, west and south.

As it's nestled down a driveway and enveloped within mature gardens, the two-level residence is afforded a lovely sense tranquillity. A favourable north/northeast aspect also promises all day sun. A charming veranda wraps around the ground floor's open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen zones. The tiled modern kitchen was renovated in 2015 and has stone bench tops, a breakfast bar and good storage. A wood burner efficiently heats the spaces in winter, while the inside flows out to the deck for easy summer entertaining. From here, the stunning views extend down the valley and out to the Gulf, as far as Great Barrier and the Coromandel.

Along the hallway downstairs are the separate toilet and bathroom with bath, as well as the office and bedroom, which overlook the garden. Upstairs offers another bathroom and two more double bedrooms, including the spacious master that enjoys the best views of the house.

Along with the double carport, there is space for two extra vehicles to be parked off-street on the driveway.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to live in one of the North Shore's most loved coastal suburbs.
