Ignore the CV and those online estimates. This out-of-town owner needs this property sold, making it a rare chance to secure something really special.

Perched among the trees on Parakiore Road, this home serves up views in every direction: city, rolling countryside, Mount Manaia and even a glimpse of the coast fromt Tutukaka to Waipu on a clear day. By night, the city lights sparkle below. With over three hectares that includes native bush, you'll have your own private hideaway, just minutes from town.

The layout offers real flexibility. Upstairs features sunny, open plan living that spills onto the deck; perfect for soaking in the outlook soothing the soul with a cuppa in hand.

There's a master bedroom with ensuite, a second double bedroom, a family bathroom, and a proper laundry.

Downstairs, the options really open up. With an internal access single garage, an extra bathroom, plus two more rooms that both flow to their own decks, it's ideal for teenagers, extended family, or even a work from home setup.

Comfortable as it is, with a fireplace, heat pump, SmartVent system, and parking on both levels (garage, carport and further off street parking), there's still room to add your own flair and really make it yours.

122 Parakiore Road - views, privacy, and space to spread out. And, best of all, a vendor who's serious about selling.
