23 Formby Avenue Point Chevalier, Auckland City

The Manse, which was originally built for the minister's family of the nearby church, is an important piece of Pt Chev history. The home's authentic Art Deco features from the 1920s have been extensively modernised for the 2020s, while retaining its genuine character and warmth.
The northern aspect floods the extended living room with natural light, seamlessly opening onto private outdoor entertaining. The outdoor dining area has an automated awning cover and privacy screen, and it overlooks the sunset. With amazing feature lighting recycled from old European mansions, the new electrical fit out solves one of the more desirable qualities among older houses. A silent ducted heat pump connects all four bedrooms in this home for cool, comfortable summer nights and cosy winters.

The mature gardens are housed in the fully fenced and private back yard, with room for a pool. The automated front gate allows for easy parking in a spacious secure front courtyard.

The super-sized electric opening roof window floods the new kitchen with natural light. The scullery adds extra workspace and storage for all of your culinary needs. The newly added ensuite and dressing room provide additional privacy for the master bedroom. The roof, fascia, gutters, and downpipes have all been replaced and are in perfect condition. New carpet and genuine French Oak floors throughout the house. Inside and out, everything has been freshly painted. Now that the maintenance has been completed, you can simply enjoy it.

You may already be aware of some of Pt Chev's secrets. The friendly toot of the Motat steam train can be heard from here. The zoo's monkeys are calling. The Springs hosts the occasional concert. The short walk to the beach or to the nearby schools, shops, and public transportation. This side of Waiouru has the best Anzac Day parade. Everyone will find something to enjoy.

This unique residence is looking for a new family to welcome. Is this yours?
