Set within one of Westmere s quiet, no exit pockets just moments from Cox s Bay Reserve, this immaculately presented 1940s weatherboard home offers space, sun and flexibility in a location that has long been tightly held.While Westmere is celebrated for its 1920s bungalows, this home takes a different approach - comfortable, unpretentious and exceptionally well cared for. Polished timber floors, spacious bedrooms and a traditional central hallway layout create a sense of ease that feels immediately familiar.At the front, a north-west facing swimming pool and deck enjoy excellent sun and connect to an oversized lounge through large bifold doors. While the pool reflects an earlier era, it has been well maintained and remains as refreshing as ever on humid summer evenings.To the rear, a modernised kitchen with step-in pantry sits alongside a dedicated dining area and a handy casual living space for visitors to relax while meals are prepared - all opening to a rear deck and a landscaped, level backyard with low-maintenance artificial turf.In zone for sought-after schools such as Westmere Primary and Ponsonby Intermediate, this 569 m² site is a genuine standout in this coveted pocket of Westmere, where the average section is around 485 m², offering comfort now with longer-term options for a future rebuild. The driveway provides separation from the neighbour and generous space for visitors, bikes or boats - classic Kiwiana living at its best.The garage includes workshop space, a double carport, and a self-contained studio at the rear with CCC - a handy and flexible addition in this part of Westmere.For buyers who value location, space and authenticity over glitz, this home truly delivers - cherished by one family for 30 years and offered for the first time in a generation, in a neighbourhood as rewarding to live in as it is reassuring to invest in.
