Hillside Crescent South is a street that you have likely never driven into, as property owners like to keep this area to themselves. When you do, a wonderful mixture of early period homes, art-deco apartments, modern and contemporary homes greet you. This very special home is in zone for Mt Eden Normal School, Auckland Normal Intermediate, Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls Grammar and is only a short stroll to the boutique shops, cafes and bars of Mt Eden village.

17 Hillside Crescent South is one of those wonderful early period cottages. Local lore has it that part of the home was moved by bullock dray from Onehunga onto the site back in the late 1800's and that at one stage of its history, the home served as Tea Rooms to visitors to the mountain.

The street view of this home belies the hidden oasis you will discover as you step from the living room onto the back veranda. It's so peaceful the only sounds you are likely to be disturbed by are those of Tuis singing or Native Pigeons swooping through the air. There is even a studio out the back that would be perfect for the artist or potter, or possibly a great place to hide out and read a book or play your PS3.

This is the Mt Eden opportunity that you have been waiting for, don't let it slip away be certain to arrange a viewing of this wonderful piece of Mt Eden history today.
