16 & 16a Alfred Street Northcote Point, North Shore City

There's so much going for this much-loved bungalow: central location, great views and flexible lifestyle options. From its elevated position overlooking the harbour, this 5 bedroom home and separate 2 bedroom cottage has been in the same family for 18 years. Now that the owner is downsizing, it's time to make your mark as there is still plenty of opportunity to add value and get creative with your interior ideas.

Astute buyers will immediately spot its value. The downstairs level makes for the ideal teenage retreat, with 2 double bedrooms, a shared bathroom and internal double garage. Upstairs, 3 double bedrooms occupy one wing, 2 of which feature stunning east-facing harbour views. The master has French doors that open onto a sun-drenched north-facing deck, an ensuite that connects to a separate laundry, plus access to a private, flat lawn and patio garden. This sheltered outdoor area is perfect for kids to play or green-thumbs to idle. Relaxed living continues in the charming kitchen/dining, bathroom with bath and lovely, light living room, where you can warm yourself by the gas fireplace or curl up on the window seat and watch the world go by.

At the front of the property's 835sqm (more or less) section is a minor dwelling, currently rented out fixed term tenancy until March 2021, that could alternatively be occupied by extended family or used as a work space.

This attractive separate cottage has 2 double bedrooms, bathroom, en suite and mezzanine, ideal for storage. With high ceilings, heat pump, north-facing deck and off-street parking for two and a boat, it has everything you need.

This solid investment is right on the city's doorstep, with convenient motorway access to whiz you into town in 10 minutes. Plus the Northcote Tavern, Bridgeway cinema and Points village life are all at your disposal. Explore the possibilities!

Restricted viewing times on the minor dwelling - Saturdays, Wednesdays or by
