24 Litten Road Cockle Bay, Manukau City

Expect the unexpected when you venture beyond the classically charming frontage of this solid 1960s haven. Extended in 1998, this supersized family property has everything you need for a superb Cockle Bay lifestyle, including 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 3 living spaces, and a large and private garden.

Open plan living and dining is spacious and filled with light, centred by a crisp near new contemporary kitchen with ample storage and a breakfast bar for enjoying Sunday pancakes.

The large family area soaks up the outlook to the water, and doors take you to elevated al fresco decking for summer barbecues while you can keep an eye on the children playing in the incredibly spacious, established garden.

A second formal living room is bathed in sunshine, making it a tranquil retreat for the grown-ups while the kids enjoy the basement area that can be used as rumpus, study or media room.

Also on the main level are five bedrooms, including two doubles, two singles and the master bedroom with double wardrobes and en suite, as well as a modern family bathroom and a separate guest powder room.

The icing on the cake is updated insulation in the ceiling and underfloor just last year, double internal access garaging with near new garage door and the bonus of plenty of off street parking.

Sitting atop a freehold 1012m2 of premium Cockle Bay land close to the beaches and local in zone schools Cockle Bay Primary School, Somerville Intermediate and Howick College, this is a warm and welcoming family home with space to grow with you.
