11 Arkaringa Crescent
Black Rock

Enviably encompassing more than one-third of an acre, just five doors to the beach and mere steps to the Village, this outstanding north-south oriented Black Rock property, incorporating a character-rich circa-1980 family home offering Bay glimpses from the upper level, and a full-size floodlit tennis court, presenting an inspiring opportunity for renovation, sub-division or redevelopment (STCA).

Privately set behind a high wall with automated driveway gates, and a lawned front garden with established borders, the double-brick, two storey home is solidly built, with a spacious, time-honoured layout, suitable for contemporary living and entertaining. Architect designed to make the most of the abundance of natural light, the formal and informal living areas take advantage of the rear northerly aspect, further enhanced with westerly facing clerestory windows. Lined with limewashed cedar, the large central kitchen has been updated and is well equipped with a Brandt induction cooktop, St George double oven and a double drawer dishwasher. Zoned at the front of the home is the main bedroom suite with ‘his’ and ‘hers’ walk-in robes and a shower ensuite, while the additional three bedrooms are upstairs, along with the main bathroom with built-in tub and separate shower. There is also a large study (or fifth bedroom) downstairs, a gym/studio space, an under-stair wine cellar, powder rooms on each level, plus an additional bathroom with shower off the large family/rumpus room, with external courtside access. The north-south tennis court is fully netted and has an original entoucas surface and floodlights. Semi-prepared for future subdivision (STCA), a former swimming pool in front of the court has been filled-in to increase the level space available.

Additional features include gas ducted heating and central cooling, a security alarm, a large laundry with chute, a double garage with automated doors, and a garden irrigation system.

This unbeatable Bayside location is just steps to Half Moon Bay beach, and less than five-minutes’ walk to Black Rock Village cafes and restaurants, and primary school, with the regions celebrated golf courses, prestigious schools in easy reach.
