Garden Haven Good for the Soul

A golden opportunity exists here to upscale this character-filled weatherboard home on a quiet street and reap the rewards. Set amidst beautiful flat and fully fenced tropical gardens on a 517 sqm (approx.) section zoned Mixed Housing Suburban, this property has so much scope to enhance. In a coveted city fringe coastal neighbourhood that's enjoying a booming renaissance with astute buyers, first home buyers, growing families and keen investors will all have their imaginations captured once they step through the gate. The private and tropical haven sits just seconds from the shores of the Tamaki River Estuary.

Anchored by original polished timber floors, the four-bedroom home has space to entertain with easy flow to the huge north facing wraparound deck from open plan living. The sitting room still featuring the original fireplace connects to a sunny dining area flanking the modernised butter-coloured kitchen with stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry. Four sizable bedrooms and a multipurpose study/sunroom all have built in closets are well served by an attractively renovated bathroom with separate toilet. The large internally accessed ply lined double garage has the laundry integrated and there's heaps of room to store the bikes, boards, and boxes.

Carefully and lovingly planted, the private landscaped gardens are a real treat and bound to be the venue for lots of barbecue times for what remains of the summer. In zone for Point England School, Tamaki College and close to a range of early childhood centres, this family friendly gem is an easy commute to the city by bus, train, or car.
