Private & Pretty - Entry Level Winner

With robust concrete block construction and ideally positioned for a sunny aspect, this tastefully modernised two-storey 1970s townhouse is one of three tucked in a tranquil enclave. This is a prestigious neighbourhood sought out by families for its desirable Meadowbank School zoning so the two-bedroom home will have broad appeal to aspirational first home buyers, professional couples, empty nesters and investors.

Lofty double height raked ceilings inform the serene white on white scene in open plan living spaces where dreamy drapes and abundant natural light hint of coastal holidays in the Hamptons. A high wall-mounted heat pump delivers the requisite winter warmth while double glazed stackable sliders provide indoor/outdoor flow in summer to a northwest facing private patio, elevated deck, and a gorgeous brick fireplace/barbecue in the corner of a smoothly turfed courtyard. Similarly, a covered alfresco deck connecting from the kitchen feels like another enclosed room and is a perfect brunch rendezvous, dining-out option or to sit with that essential kick start coffee. The separate galley kitchen is arranged to maximise its footprint and incorporates a dishwasher with pantry. On the ground floor one double bedroom integrates a study desk and has direct bifold access to the living areas while upstairs, the second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and a leafy outlook. The bathroom combines vanity, shower and toilet with linen cupboard storage and there's more under the stairs.

On a cross-lease title comprising of 1/3 share of 1120m2 and with no body corporate fees, the optimally oriented home has mature trees and foliage on three sides and comes complete with a carport car parking space. A short walk to Meadowbank Shopping Mall and Waiatarua Reserve, the city is a 20 minute commute away and bus stops are handy as is the train station.
