It may be a terrible pun, but this opportunity is magic - because behind the understated street presence of this cedar home is something that delivers considerably more than you think. It is beautifully finished, exceptionally comfortable, and features outdoor living that deserves serious attention.

Set away from the road, the home has a sense of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find, while the architecture and interiors strike exactly the right balance between contemporary and comfortable. It has been meticulously maintained, recently refreshed and is ready to go without the usual list of jobs waiting in the wings.

The outdoor living is sensational - landscaped, private and designed to be used to the max, with an electronic Louvertech system extending the alfresco season and a spa waiting for the end of the day. The cedar construction gives it a traditional feel. It is freestanding and freehold, with a double internal-access garage and minimal upkeep required, making it a very easy house to own.

The location is hard to fault. Cornwall Park is an easy stroll, while Ellerslie Village and Onehunga town centre give you two very different options for coffee, dinner, shopping and the everyday essentials. The schooling credentials are strong, with zoning for One Tree Hill College and Remuera Intermediate school, adding another layer of appeal for families making their next move. Connectivity is fabulous here - motorway access is close at hand, with two train stations nearby when the car can stay in the garage. Dressmart is down the road, Stardome is close enough for a spontaneous Pink Floyd light show, and the rest of central Auckland is remarkably accessible.

This is the kind of home that makes sense on paper, but is considerably more convincing once you are standing in it. For a family wanting to move up without taking on a major project, or professionals looking for more room, better outdoor living and a home with some personality, this is a move worth making - and fast. Your earliest viewing and swift offers are recommended.
