28 Seafield View Road Grafton, Auckland City

For over 100 years this ravishing solid timber villa at the end of a city cul de sac has borne witness as the neighbourhood flourished and expanded. Now nestled close to the heart of all essential amenities, the nostalgic weatherboard classic has been fully contemporised to provide the best of both worlds. Offering three bedrooms, the 100 sqm (approx.) home with restful and secluded back yard will suit a small family, professional couples and those who need convenient and swift access to hospital or university.

Generosity of space is achieved with the conventional high stud, large sash windows and a tasteful ecru and crisp white interior decor. Treacle toned Kauri floors have been polished to a glow and underpin the bedrooms, bathrooms, and central hallway. The open plan living and dining areas at the rear of the home evoke a cool sophisticated ambiance with ducted heating system and French bifolds to north facing patios and gardens catering for all seasons entertaining. The well-equipped kitchen with subway tile wall boasts gleaming stainless steel benches complementing appliances including a substantial range with gas hob top. Each bedroom has its own personality with two sharing back-to-back ornamental original cast iron fireplaces. The master bedroom has an elegant little ensuite featuring glass and tile wet shower and pedestal basin while the family bathroom is similarly stylish with traditional claw foot deep bathtub and separate shower. There's plentiful built in storage with hideaway laundry cupboard beside the kitchen.

The freehold 316 sqm (approx.) fully fenced section is perfect for kids and dogs with a single carport out front and further residents' parking on street. For buyers who want to walk to work this is the creme de la creme of locations. An easy stroll to Auckland Hospital, Auckland University, Auckland Domain, with a vast range of cultural and retail outlets nearby .
