One of King Street’s most iconic homes is on the market for only the second time.

At the time of its construction in the 1970s, this home was something special – a stand-out on its street with vertical wooden cladding atop a Hinuera stone base.

Nothing has changed in the past 50-plus years with the home, freshly painted in modern colours for its new owners, still making a statement. The flat roof, modernist box design is as appealing today as the day it was built.

What’s more, its floorplan has stood the test of time with the open-plan easy flow, multiple living areas and outdoor living options making it comfortable, functional and a pleasure to live in.

The lower level is semi-self-contained, providing versatile living options, including potential income possibilities.

There are two bedrooms down here, a rumpus room or lounge,  a bathroom and a laundry. Whether you have teenagers or extended family needing their own space, you work from home, or are looking to earn some extra income, there is plenty of scope here.

From the ground floor, a wide staircase provide access to the main living areas and bedrooms on the next level.

One of the special features of this home is the picture window in the stairwell that offers extensive neighbourhood views.

The upper living boasts three sun-filled bedrooms, two of which open onto a front balcony that runs the length of the house. The other bedoom has an equally interesting outlook over the back garden to the houses and hills beyond.

The bathroom facilities – separate toilet, shower room and bathroom – have been beautifully modernised and are stunning with black polished tile floors adding a glam touch.

A luxe vibe pervades this home with
chandeliers, door handles and the decorative cornices and scotia all contributing to its unique style.
The living areas flow effortlessly with a large lounge on the street side, opening onto the balcony.

It flows through to a dining room and then a second lounge/casual dining area adjoining the kitchen. A relaxed space, this opens to a large deck overlooking a backyard that is well planted with fruit trees.

The kitchen is large with plenty of bench and cupboard space, and a walk-in pantry/scullery. This is a very light and bright home, with the sun streaming into the living areas and bedrooms for much of the day.

Plenty of off-street parking is available and there is a double drive-through carport beneath the house along with a lockable garage/workshop for extra storage.

To secure this property you will need to act fast with tenders closing next week.
