The street that needs no introduction: Paritai Drive. If Auckland had a Monopoly board, this would be Park Lane with a waterfront view.

Welcome to the 1930s - where the happy days really are here again. This charming do-up is ready for its next chapter, and the potential here is louder than the Tuis on a summer morning.

My lovely owner has enjoyed 23 wonderful years here before moving to the local retirement village, which means one thing: A real, rare, "blink-and-someone-else-will-grab-it" opportunity.

What's on offer:

141sqm of flexible floor space (a renovator's playground)

2 generous double bedrooms

2 large bathrooms

Oversized garage, room for a workshop + loads of storage

A private courtyard off the master - perfect for morning tea, a book, or yoga session

A front deck with views over Whakatakataka Bay - warning: may cause spontaneous relaxation

Got a boat at the OCB or Orakei Marina? Ideal. You'll practically smell a good fishing day drifting in from the driveway.

And here's the big one This will be sold. It will not be set aside. It will not be passed in. Christmas has arrived right on time for someone - and this gem is ready to be unwrapped.

This is a home begging for vision, creativity, and a buyer who knows a once-in-a-generation chance when they see it. Bring your imagination, your builder, and maybe your mother-in-law (she'll approve - it's Paritai Drive).

Opportunities like this don't knock twice… especially not on this street.
