43 Thatcher Street, Mission Bay, Auckland, 1071, New Zealand
Imagine opening your blinds every morning to be greeted by the sight of serene beautiful native bush – and serenaded by the abundant bird-life that dwells therein! Kepa Bush is a 13.6 hectare nature reserve and this property backs right on to it.
Perched on a 667m² site and built in 1964, the brick & weatherboard home is a classic example of that decade in both configuration and durability. It is a shining testament to the generation who spent Saturdays mowing the lawns, tending the gardens, hanging the washing on the clothesline – and then resting on Sundays while the kids played in the backyard. Owned and loved by the same family since new, it is now time to pass it on.
Spread over 242m² the home features a lovely lounge looking out towards the bush – as does the modern kitchen complete with Miele appliances. There are four bedrooms, family bathroom plus a guest powder room. Downstairs comprises another bathroom plus a second living area and a study – either of these could be utilised as a fifth bedroom.
Thatcher Street is a long cul-de-sac off busy Kepa Road. No. 43 is at the end – and it’s so quiet, you could be miles from anywhere. Close to Eastridge; a few minutes’ drive to the waterfront; and in zone for Selwyn College and St Thomas’ School. This pocket of Mission Bay is having a facelift and is a bit of a well-kept secret – so be quick before everyone finds out about it and get yourself a bit of country-quiet in a busy, buzzy location!
