81 St Leonards Road Epsom, Auckland City

Proudly positioned on one of Mt Eden's premium streets close to Cornwall Park and set amidst the finest quality homes in the area, this outstanding Double Grammar Zone opportunity is not to be missed. Those seeking a top education for their children in expansive, leisurely surroundings will be well-advised to prioritise early viewing.

The two-storey 222 sqm (approx) floor plan encompasses four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a sunny formal sitting room with continuous flow to an adjacent open plan family lounge and dining area. Wide decks border both living areas offering a diversity of entertaining options from family barbecues in view of the sparkling in-ground pool to cocktail evenings as the sun goes down. The layout is designed to provide privacy for the teen or the extended family members downstairs while upstairs the extended living areas are a welcoming hub bringing everyone together to socialise. Anchored by glowing native timber floors, informal living is flanked by an upscale and trendy white kitchen which blends comfortably with adjacent more traditional elements - dazzling lead-lights, decorative plaster mouldings and the archetypal window seat bays a reminder of the home's 1920's provenance. Accommodation incorporates a sizable master bedroom with compact ensuite and another ultra-spacious bed-sitting-room on the ground floor accesses a full bathroom. Basement storage is super-sized with potential to install a wine cellar.

The established Cotswolds-style gardens ramble over 818 sqm (approx.) of manicured hedges, trees and lawns. Prettily picturesque, there are plenty of nooks and crannies for children to play hide and seek before jumping in the pool to cool off. Zoned for Three Kings School, Auckland Normal Intermediate, Epsom Girls and Auckland Grammar Schools this absolute gem on the city fringes is perfect for large families or business professionals seeking a statement home for life.
