AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD- MONDAY 9th MARCH 2015 1.30pm 28 NORTHCROFT STREET TAKAPUNA. Very stylish, this fabulous 1960s Modernist design on a large freehold 855m2 in the heart of Mairangi Bay was built for a timber merchant and is full of character. The great family home incorporates beautiful rimu beams and cabinetry inside and exteriors are Canadian cedar. Big windows and French doors open to decks on all four sides, capturing all-day sun and expansive Gulf views from both levels. The layout is very practical with masses of built-in storage and no hallway between three bedrooms to waste space. With doors wide open it's cool in summer and fireplaces keep winters cosy. Three living areas plus a study and separate formal dining room create versatility. A substantial, open plan media room/rumpus or teen retreat with a bathroom downstairs adds extra living or could become a fourth bedroom or handy guest accommodation. Internal double garaging links to a great workshop with plenty of under house storage. Off-street parking is generous (room for a boat) and children will love to play on the big lawn with a view of Rangitoto Island from the raised vegetable gardens. Zoned for excellent schools, including Rangitoto College and so handy to the popular Mairangi Bay beach, shops, cafes and restaurants. Much-loved for many years, now it's your turn to experience this special lifestyle where you will love to live.
