Properties and opportunities like this just don't exist anymore. A beautiful villa surrounded by birdsong and native trees on a huge section of land in the middle of one of Aucklands most up and coming suburbs.
Surround yourself with tranquility and peace in the heart of Auckland, something normally you have to drive an hour out of CBD to achieve.
Proudly sitting on over 3,000 square metres of land, this 1860s Villa offers a modern lifestyle with the utmost privacy so rare to find in Auckland today. The large, highly spec open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is the heartbeat of this beautiful home, perfectly laid out to entertain family and friends.
Barbeques will delight with the wide bi-fold doors that open onto a north-facing garden off the kitchen while your guests enjoy the pool. Beautiful French Doors provide access to your croquet lawn, where friendly competitions can take place. A covered porch to sweeping stone steps offers a serenity that can be enjoyed with a morning coffee or evening wine as you take in the views to the south and the Manukau Harbour.
In 2015 Salmond Reed architects sensitively designed renovations to bring this grand home into modern-day living. Add to this the landscaped garden areas incorporating traditional stonework designed by Xanthe White. A wide and sheltered wrap-around verandah offers views from every angle to take in your private oasis of the garden and well-established mature trees.
With Onehunga Bay / Taumanu Reserve nearby, coastal walking and cycle-ways can be regularly enjoyed. Located within walking distance to local schools, the Onehunga Mall shops, cafes, and the railway station only add to the convenience this fantastic property offers. Children will have endless fun enjoying the great outdoors this 3,000 square metre section offers. With the wide grass area and multiple trees, the front section could be mistaken for Cornwall Park. A large heated saltwater pool will make every summer memorable, while the vegetable plot enables the kids to have fun growing the greens they'll be putting on their dinner plate.
7 Symonds Street is a beautifully presented home that offers a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity for any family to enjoy their private oasis in the heart of the City of Sails for many generations to come.
