4/8 Plane Street Avondale, Auckland City

Dating back to the 1920s yet offering every modern convenience, this charming three-bedroom home has character in spades and will appeal to those who appreciate the beautiful things in life.

Walk through the front door and you'll be happily surprised by the sense of space. High, decorative ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows adding the 'wow' factor.

Enjoy the sun streaming in through these lovely colourful windows while curling up with a book in the open-plan lounge area. Its this feature that initially attracted the current owner to the home, and it's easy so see why - when the sun hits the vibrant colours of the stained glass, it adds a serene atmosphere to the living area, as well as making it exceptionally warm and sunny.

The spacious living area leads effortlessly into the contemporary kitchen and dining area, which in turn flows out onto the modern deck, creating an open feeling that brings this vintage beauty firmly into the 21st century. Enjoy your breakfast in the dining area or out on the deck - the choice is yours. With its sought-after indoor-outdoor flow, this is the perfect home for entertaining.

Three generous bedrooms fill out the house, with one bathroom and two toilets. A heat pump/home ventilation system keeps things comfy year long, while wall-mounted heaters in the bedrooms ensures everyone is extra toasty in winter.

Enjoy easy-care gardening and pick your own lemons from the lovely tree out back. The double garage ensures both cars are secure at all times.

Leafy, quiet Plane Street is the perfect spot for families, with plenty of good schools and kindergartens within walking distance, including Avondale College and Avondale Intermediate. On the weekend, you and the kids can walk to Avondale Library, or to one of many nearby parks and reserves in the area. Pak'n Save, the doctors are just a hop, skip and a jump away and professionals will love being so close to the motorway.
