ID: 2433 Saint Heliers, Auckland City

Glen Orchard Estate就位于St Heliers路的西侧，只离金色达到Tamaki Drive600米远。他占地3，719平米，是奥克兰市少有的带有全套网球场设施，大型游泳池和周围配到设施的房子. 房子的建材是少有的Kauri实木，并以最时尚和独特的角度建造的。 1842年Major Thomas Bunbury 购买了次物业，之后的几代屋主都是鼎鼎大名的人物。宽敞的室内面积，12英尺高的可主持国宴的饭厅，多间客房也可用于其他用处。还包括屋后一个独立分开的房子。这间屋子具有很高的升值潜力，目前是2c区，在奥克兰市政府的要求下，1000平米的土地面可以分割一个房子地契，所以这间物业具有3个地契的分割潜力。 CLASSICAL GEORGIAN HOME CIRCA 1870 An oasis of privacy and a large parcel of land seldom found in the bustling city Glen Orchard Estate is situated on the preferred western side of St Heliers Bay Road and simply 600 metres to the golden sands of Tamaki Drive. Such prominent homes are generally found in Remuera, Parnell or St Marys Bay, making Glen Orchard an extraordinary and quite significant offering, given the scarcity of land comprising 3,719 sq. metres. There are a limited number of properties available in Auckland offering full sized tennis court facilities, room for a pool and large gardens. Constructed entirely of clean heart Kauri, which was the best timber available, the property was built in a magnificent fashion and possesses a number of unique characteristics. A number of plantings on the property are of historical significance and are believed to date back to 1840, in which are said to be the first of their kind to be planted in New Zealand. Major Thomas Bunbury purchased the property in 1842 which comprised 2 adjoining farms totalling 217 aces and reportedly paid a guinea an acre. A keen garden enthusiast, his carrots grew 2 feet in length and about the thickness of a man�s arm. The next owner was Colonel Taylor of the Indian Army who was later a General who bought the property in 1849. The name Glen Orchard reflects the Generals Scottish origins. The Generals sons were also farming and one of their farms was called Glendowie and another called Glen Innes, which I am happy to share the full details and history upon your request. In 1870 the wealthy family added the top story to the house and used the best timber available. The studs were morticed and tenoned into the top and bottom plates. The walls were lined with horizontal planed sarking and the ceilings of the upstairs hall are a particularly fine example of board and batten ceilings with large, moulded cornices. After a history of prominent Auckland families as vendors, this is your opportunity to own a slice of history, a magnificent parcel of land and a home one could only dream of. The large floor area flows beautifully and is made up of a formal drawing room of grand proportions, 12 feet in height with an equally sized adjoining dining room worthy of a state banquet dinner. Multiple rooms can be utilized and reconfigured to suit a modern day lifestyle. The floor plan also consists of a self contained suite at the rear of the house. The overall property is in sound condition and needs a loving touch to realise its full capital gain and appreciation. Service areas are indicative of the 1950�s era; however one will relish the thought of creating their own masterwork. Current zoning is Residential 2C, according to the Auckland City Council Operative District Plan 1999; this zone allows subdivision to a maximum density of one dwelling unit per 1000 m2 of net site area. The property is of sufficient size to accommodate up to three dwellings according to the provisions of this zone.
