Set within one of Westmere’s quiet, no exit pockets just moments from Cox’s Bay Reserve, this immaculately presented nineteen forties weatherboard home offers space, sun and flexibility in a location that has long been tightly held.While Westmere is celebrated for its nineteen twenties 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.The five hundred sixty-nine square meter site is a genuine standout in this coveted pocket of Westmere, where the average section is around four hundred eighty-five square meters, 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 code compliance certificate - 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 thirty 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.Auction: thirty-four Shortland Street, City on Thursday fifth March twenty twenty-six at ten o’clock AM (unless sold prior)
