Over a decade ago, the current owner was looking for three things: an appealing place to call her own, a rock-solid investment on a budget, but, importantly, a toe-hold in one of Auckland's most magnetic coastal suburbs.

Up popped this one level sweetheart in Shelly Park, down an ample drive, with everything in one pretty package, and in a flash it was hers. It has indeed been a joy, life has been full - and now it's someone else's turn.

Do come visit. The peaceful images tell it all really: you may especially love the sheltered entertaining space to the north, which extends from the open-plan living. Mornings, wake to the call of the tui or the beat of kereru wings as they feed in nearby Mangemangeroa bush.

Weekends explore the beaches, estuaries and cliff-top walks - or try a spot of kayaking in these calm waters. For shopaholics there's far too much choice, from the legendary Howick Village market to your pick of town centres.

Schools of course are a dream - Shelly Park Primary, Somerville Intermediate and Howick College, plus Montessori pre and primary, all legends in their own right - while community activities abound, and the airport is practically in a straight line. An amazing proposition in many ways.

Do call, or pop in to one of the open homes: we expect firm interest - CV $990K.
