Looking for lifestyle without leaving the city? Here’s a special 1095sqm section with a touch of character you won’t find in those new builds; this home is practically new on the inside. Extensively renovated this isn’t just a “Dulux Do-Up.” The 140sqm home has been fully relined, rewired and insulated top to bottom (including the walls), the roof has been recently repainted and with solid brick there's little to do.

Comfort comes with a fully ducted heat pump servicing all rooms, delivering warm in winter and cool in summer. The garage is a DIYers / crafters dream with a sub main board and 15amp plugs available for charging your EV or any enhancements you’d like to make.

Off-street parking fits up to 6 cars. If there’s a gardener in the family you’ll find the garden shed complete with bench along with the brick vegetable garden ready for spring planting.

Fruit trees? Yes. The garden comes complete with an orchard; from figs and feijoas to peaches, plums and persimmons, there are 20+ established trees, although the crowning glory is the macadamia - a nut worth coating in chocolate. The current owners say they get kilograms off it most years.

This is a special property for couples or families wanting to claim their own productive slice of Auckland. More room than a townhouse with privacy and greenery surrounding. Built to stand the test of time and renovated for the future. The privacy extends to the covered deck, positioned for all day sun and entertaining, with bifold cedar doors leading out to view your own private stream with bridge and native plantings.

For children this is an adventure waiting to happen, the older kids will love seeking eels in the stream, while for younger children the front and back lawns leave plenty of scope. You won’t find many homes that are this central yet private and conveniently located for train, supermarket, motorways and airport. Just bring your chickens and you’ll be set for life.
