17 Rimu Street, New Lynn, Waitakere City, Auckland, 0600, New Zealand

Built in 1922 for the Crown Lynn craftspeople who worked nearby, this historic yet contemporary, charming bungalow has been lovingly restored with modern lifestyle features. Native timber floors throughout, period doors, architraves and plantation shutters provide heart-warming character alongside a contemporary kitchen and sunny living space, with fabulous indoor-outdoor flow to a generous deck which extends the living space for outdoor entertaining.

 

The restoration of this charming home was done by the previous builder-owner who created a stylish yet very liveable family home. This included insulation, a SmartVent ventilation system, Heat Pump, good wardrobing in all 3 bedrooms, ceiling storage, loads of off-street parking and quiet workshop space in the garage.

 

Sitting pretty on a corner-site, street appeal hedging leads you to a covered entrance to the original door which opens to a wide, long hall-way, high ceilings, revealing an open living arrangement, with brilliant outdoor connection, a refined kitchen, three bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom modern with heritage touch.

 

Outdoor liveability is mint: generous decking extends from the living zone to the Idyllic Kiwi backyard, fully fenced and secure with enough room for the kids to romp about and the ultimate play fort tree house.

 

Only 10 kilometres to the City, links with motorway junctions not far away and offering strolling distance to the New Lynn Transport Station linking with other parts of the city by rail and bus. Train to Britomart, central Auckland is 15 minutes’ journey time.
