DEAR DELPHI...

If location is one of your top property priorities this classic Herne Bay apartment will be a welcome addition to your weekend viewing list. Set on the desirable northern slopes of this preeminent city fringe neighbourhood, the landmark 'Delphi' complex presents an increasingly rare opportunity. A small boutique block, built in the 1950s with no compromise on size, this top floor two bedroom find is a fantastic chance to break into Auckland's most exclusive suburb. Cosmetically unchanged for around 20 years, Blockaholics will definitely be drooling at the prospect of bringing this classic character into the 21st century with a modern makeover.

One of only seven, the apartment enjoys plenty of sunshine and access to the terrace from both the main bedroom and the expansive living area. A single garage plus one off street car park add to this exciting picture and the post code certainly needs no introduction. Destination dining, first class coffee, high end shopping and excellent public transport links are all literally on your door step. Tightly held and always in demand, make sure this one goes on your watch list now!
