15 Rangitoto Terrace, Milford, Auckland 0622

A discreet roadside entrance belies the dazzling views showcased by this 675m2 (more or less) Milford property. A coveted position on the sought-after suburb's sunny slopes means the cinematic outlook encompasses the city, sea and sky and is always alive with activity, no matter what time of day. Life is laidback and convenient - 15 Rangitoto Terrace is an easy amble from Milford's mall, cafes, restaurants, bars and boutiques. Round the corner, a shortcut off Prospect Terrace accesses the footbridge across to the golden beach, marina and reserve. The neighbourhood is in zone for top schools, including Milford School, TNIS and Westlake Girls and Boys.
As a true testament to the appeal of the environment and location, the property has been in the same family for nearly 50 years. The owner was raised here by her grandparents - the residence was built in 1967 and they purchased it in '69. As proprietors of the London Bar at the Civic Tavern at the time, they were fully immersed in the world of hospitality and hosted many soirees at their coastal North Shore abode. Positively bursting with original charm and character, little has been done to the residence over the years and it's presented in largely original condition, ready for its contemporary incarnation.
Signature 60s style means the rooms are all generous, with the top floor living areas open and filled with light. Design features from the era add to the ambiance, including built-in cabinetry and cornice detailing on the ceilings. The kitchen enjoys the panorama from its picture window, and the lounge opens out to the expansive terrace, where the dramatic outlook makes a wonderful backdrop for alfresco entertaining. The views extend out over the deep green mangroves to the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto, across to Takapuna and Auckland city's skyline. There are three generous bedrooms up here, serviced by the separate toilet and main bathroom.
Solid Rimu stairs access the expansive ground floor, comprised of a large rumpus/ entertainment space, bedroom, bathroom and access to the internal double garage. Outside, the rolling lawn extends down to the rear of the site, with plenty of room for a swimming pool complex that still enjoys the view. This ground floor has the means to be easily converted into self-contained accommodation if required. This special property showcases an enticing combination of potential, panoramic views and sixties style and character presented in a prestigious location. Property ID: #TK33445
