Prescribing Cafe Vibes in Sandringham

Show off your good taste by living in this cafe style home, lined in wooden floors, white walls, and big, inviting windows. You could spend Sundays curled up on the romantic window seat with a good book, drinking hot cocoa in front of the fireplace, or tending to one of the flowering beds by the handy tool shed. Light, atmospheric and cosy, this large family home has all the traits of a clean, warm and modern brunch spot.

But, even better, it’s a large family dwelling! The cream weatherboard body is paired with a classic peach coloured roof, and inside lies 4 bedrooms, a bathroom, and kitchen, dining and living rooms. The rooms are lovely and bright, and one room has double doors opening onto the back patio. The fourth bedroom can be used as additional storage space, with the living room also easily convertible into another large bedroom if desired. A heat pump (and full underfloor and ceiling insulation) keeps the whole place nice and toasty in the winter, and cool in the summer–your body will thank you and so will your family.

The kitchen and dining room are consolidated into a seamless line, and the kitchen is tucked into one side to maximise floor space. For peace of mind, the house has just been fully rewired too. Outside, the former owner’s keen interest in gardening is clear–treat yourself to some of the citrus that is growing or enjoy a coffee/wine on the sunny patio, with steps shaped like the Pink and White Terraces leading to a private back garden and large garage. There is also ample street parking.

Centrally located, you'll find lots in the area, including Westfield St Lukes and great local schools such as Mt Albert Grammar, Kowhai Intermediate, Balmoral School and Intermediate, and Edendale Primary School. And let's not forget, all the delicious restaurants, cafes and the pub in Sandringham. Snap up this honey before someone else does.
