Your new executive home in Roseneath
A beautifully-presented Roseneath home with magnificent water views on two sides offers easy-care executive living handy to the city and airport.
The four-bedroom house, at 14 Grafton Rd, occupies an exceptionally sunny 314-square metre ridgeline section with views over the harbour and city to the west and over Evans Bay to the east.
It was built in the 1920s and over the past 20 years has been progressively renovated and refurbished.
The property includes a double cardeck on road reserve, with gentle walk-up access to the front door of the 190sqm dwelling.
It opens into an elegant, light-filled interior with polished floorboards and a curved feature wall that leads to the kitchen, dining area and lounge.
The lounge has simple but stylish audio-video cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling, double glazing that opens to a glass-balustraded north-facing deck with views that stretch across the harbour to the city and Mount Kaukau.
It adjoins the dining area, which has a heat pump, and the solid timber kitchen, which opens to a gated brick courtyard.
The kitchen includes a granite and timber benchtops, a 900-millimetre wide Fisher & Paykel range with a five-burner gas cooktop, rangehood, Miele dishwasher, refrigerator- freezer and bay window.
Also on this level are a separate laundry with storage, two of the double-bedrooms and a bathroom.
Both bedrooms have wardrobes with extra storage and face east for morning sun and Evans Bay views.
The bathroom combines a standalone bath, shower cabinet, vanity and toilet with polished floorboards and decoratively tiled walls.
The main bedroom is on the top floor, along with a bathroom (shower, vanity, toilet) and fourth double-bedroom that could be used for working from home.
The latter overlooks Evans Bay while the former opens to a balcony with city and harbour views.
It has both a walk-in wardrobe and double-wardrobe as well as a skylight (there’s also a roof window on the landing).
“Only a handful of homes along this ridgeline have dual views and all-day sun,” Ben Atwill, of Bayleys, says.
“It’s superbly presented with clean lines and modern finishes and will appeal to busy families and executives or those seeking a Wellington pied-à-terre close to the city and airport.”
