36 Wallace Road Mangere Bridge, Manukau City

How do you define the word "rare"? One interpretation is expressed as 'unusually good or remarkable - exceptional, outstanding, unparalleled'. Welcome to a home that fits the description very comfortably and has been devotedly reconfigured to cater for a variety of lifestyles with multiple areas for everyone.

Constructed over 40 years ago and occupying a large, flat, landscaped garden, the recent adaptation to family life based on a high-quality total renovation has been featured in Your Home & Garden - and justifiably so. There's a wonderful story behind the labour of love the current owners embarked on with architectural designer Jonathan Holmes, at https://www.homestolove.co.nz/real-homes/home-tours/auckland-couple-dont-regret-taking-the-reno-plunge and now they are ready to move on and sink their teeth into another project. Blond timber, lemon cabinetry and stainless steel are the elemental heroes in a stylish designer kitchen and the sunny dining area connects to a north-facing deck and swimming pool offering leisure activities and socialising for all ages. The liberally functional layout includes a separate step down lounge with doors to a large patio area. This connects undercover to the detached rumpus room which can double as guest accommodation with a compact ensuite bathroom and laundry. Three double bedrooms (one of which won a TV Show makeover) are served by the second family bathroom with separate WC. A standalone studio offers scope to work from home.
Close to the rolling green-scape of Ambury Regional Park and Mangere Domain the proximity to the town centre, schools, Mangere Bridge shops and amenities positions this excellent home as a significant landmark in a thriving neighbourhood.
