Balancing privacy and ultimate liveability at the gateway to the Eastern Bays, this timeless suntrap boasts mass appeal.

Refurbished and ready for a new life, two bedrooms, a family-sized bathroom, and a single garage, storage plus carport feature the whole package for discerning urban residents.

Set back from Temple Street on an easy-to-maintain 372sqm (more or less) site, enjoy sundowners in the west-facing garden, which captures all-day sun from its elevated position.

Fabulous living spaces are flexible and stylish, with French doors flowing effortlessly outdoors, while Art Deco accents allow separation between the high-stud living and dining rooms.

A sleek kitchen upgrade means immediate entertainment with great storage, plenty of bench space and an inbuilt wall oven providing convenience and connectivity bolstered by a separate laundry adjacent offering a lot of storage.

Two light and luminous bedrooms are well-proportioned with large windows and an excellent ambience, the master occupying a preferable corner position with a priceless view of the cityscape to Auckland's iconic Skytower.

A tasteful refurbishment of the large bathroom is understated elegance with tiling, a large shower, and a separate wash closet.

Just a three minute jaunt from the Meadowbank Shopping Centre and zoned for excellent schools, proximity to the beaches of the eastern bays, green spaces and an endless array of amenities spells a superb lifestyle opportunity here.

Occupying a plum position in a family-focused neighbourhood, first-time purchasers, small families, and downsizers will find incomparable value with the potential to net a pleasing rental return a sweet and sought-after bonus.
