A style sensation beyond its classic character silhouette, there will be little doubt to anyone that this beautifully appointed and renovated 1920's workman's cottage on the edgy Newmarket/Remuera boarder is The One.

Occupying an enviable elevated position with a green urban panorama towards the city, this gorgeous home lays privately in its own unique micro-climate. Simply, this is a perfect home for those who are keen to live, relax, and entertain in easy style in their own leafy sanctuary.

Beginning at the king-single garage, head up the hedge flanked steps to be greeted by a pale grey weatherboard cottage reminiscent of the look & style of holidays in costal Maine.

The kitchen has been completely modernised, thoughtfully blending modern style and functionality with traditional character and charm bespoke timber floor to celling cabinetry off set by a white engineered stone center island, finished with stainless steel appliances. Light floods into the adjoining dining, with logical flow though French doors to a versatile deck and courtyard that's as suited to your morning coffee as it is to the cocktail hour.

Adjacent formal living is composed of a striking stone fire surround, while timber cabinetry blends with the rest of the home while keeping modern conveniences discrete. Welcoming and beautifully proportioned, this elegant space will be appreciated as you unwind after a long day. The two double bedrooms incorporate clever storage, with a sophisticated bathroom positioned where it should be.

With a variety of outdoor spaces, and set amongst a mixture of New Zealand native and exotic foliage, this is a haven that will trick you into thinking you're miles away from the city that is at your door step. Here you are a heartbeat from the pulse of Newmarket, transport hub and business district, and in zone for two of Auckland's most popular schools Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls' Grammar.

Don't let this be the one that got away .
