5A Garden Place Mount Eden, Auckland City

Retreat from the buzz in this gorgeous cedar homestead set down a private road off an already tranquil cul de sac in heartland Mt Eden. Set amidst pretty manicured grounds with plenty of room for children and pets to safely wander, this immaculately presented 1990s built property is close to cafes and around 17 minutes' drive to the CBD.

The classic colonial-designed residence has a 144 sqm (approx.) interior layout which has recently been given a tasteful makeover. Pale neutral tones and ample natural light collaborate to inject a coolly chic ambiance. Open plan living areas offer an idyllic arrangement for entertaining and easy flow to the wraparound deck, lawns and large patio are ready and waiting for your summer barbecues. The newly renovated kitchen combines composite stone counters, sleek floor to ceiling cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances including the desirable chef-friendly gas hob. Generously proportioned accommodation of three double bedrooms split across both floors is well served by two attractively revamped tile bathrooms - one on each level. The upper floor has distinctive pitched ceilings soaring above two bedrooms with the master bedroom having a heat pump and both comprising ample built in storage.

A single internal access garage integrates the laundry and there's also a sizeable double carport adjoining the patio. Picturesque leafy gardens have so many lovely spots to relax with a book and a coffee and mature trees provide shelter and privacy. Handy for schools, shops, Dominion Road eateries, and parks, with public transport nearby for a city commute.
