Set over two levels, this contemporary Papatoetoe townhouse makes clever use of its 76m² floor area, with two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a 66m² section. Light-filled interiors, clean lines and an easy-care setting give it a relaxed feel that works just as well for busy weekdays as quiet evenings..

Downstairs, the living room, dining area and kitchen share one connected zone, keeping everyday life easy and sociable. Timber-look flooring and a neutral palette keep things light, while the slatted feature wall adds warmth and texture. A heat pump provides year-round comfort, and the well-appointed kitchen pairs white and timber-toned cabinetry with generous bench space. Wide glazing and a slider open directly to the deck, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection, while under-stair storage and a separate W.C. add useful functionality.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are carpeted and set away from the main living areas, giving you a quieter place to switch off. Built-in wardrobes keep storage sorted, while the bathroom has a crisp contemporary finish with a glass shower, large-format tiling and an illuminated mirror. Extra hallway storage is another thoughtful touch, particularly in a home where every metre has been put to good use.

The deck gives the compact section a genuine outdoor living zone rather than simply an exit from the house. Fenced boundaries add privacy, while planted garden beds soften the edges and keep maintenance manageable. Open the slider on a warm evening and the living room extends outdoors, with room to sit down for dinner, catch some fresh air or enjoy a slower end to the day.

Shirley Road keeps you within easy reach of Hunters Plaza, Papatoetoe Train Station, Middlemore Hospital and local schooling including Papatoetoe Intermediate and Papatoetoe High School, with Great South Road connections handy for getting around South Auckland.
