5 Rewa Street New Lynn, Waitakere City

With a disposition that feels as collected, calming and cordial as its pretty facade, this resolutely welcoming and carefully renovated circa 1920s residence, set on a full freehold site, will put the bliss back into coming home.

Somehow transportive, there's a subtle and clever melding of the classic and contemporary. Beautifully mellow timber floors, high ceilings, and all the glory and softness only vintage glass can imbue are contrasted with crisp new decking, meticulous planting, and perfectly-suited-to-modern-life open plan living.

If your search included a hunt for a level site that is entirely secure for children and pets, this garden is one they will revel in. Ample lawn, little paths for first steps, and a swing from which to ponder it all remind you how important the backdrop to those early years are. Garden beds offer tactile learning and abundant citrus will enhance baking, drinks, and dress salads for the barbeques the back deck is patiently whispering about.

Thoughtfully built steps and seating create a sense of an outdoor room from which to enjoy it all but probably most lovely, is the privacy of this perfectly positioned space. To say the aspect is blessed would be to understate the thought and care that has gone into the improvements that each owner has shaped into a legacy of care.

The long-since improved garage provides flexibility and ease of living with an expansive floor plan and a built-in storage alcove. Our vendors have utilised this space to fit their lifestyle and growing family: the white-washed ceilings and exposed beams have made for a charming, light-filled haven for family and friends to stay, then a home gym and office, and in the last few years the space has been much enjoyed as a second lounge and rumpus. Thoughtfully connected by decking, but peacefully separate to the main house, it has an enviable outlook to a long stretch of lawn.

Quintessentially charming french doors bathe the open-plan bright and airy living room with sun while the adjacent bedroom would make the most exquisite second lounge with its similarly easy indoor/outdoor flow (should capitalising on the extensive rumpus space appeal to petit families - or those with older children).

On bedrooms, the primary is tinted with a subtle rosy glow from a patchwork of soft pink windowpanes, and has an inimitably soothing ambience. Dove-soft colours and warming textures make it contemplative, while the view to the mature olives that frame this whimsically pretty home enhance the sense of privacy and peace.

So close to Titirangi's boutique cafe's, a brief drive from the bustle of New Lynn there is an easy commute to town for those so inclined, as well as an extensive public transport network available.

Appealing to buyers looking for character, it will resonate with those shopping in Point Chev, Sandringham, Mount Albert and Te Atatu Peninsula as well as those who grew up with the spoils of the west and could never wander far from the inimitable black sand beaches.
