Offering a sensationally versatile layout that's perfect if you want space to accommodate several family members of various ages and stages, the first thing you'll notice about 9A Ngapuhi Rd is the sound of silence. The surroundings are lush and green, and wide decks capture a gloriously elevated northerly outlook down the valley towards Rangitoto Island. There's a genuine sense of being "above it all".

Tucked out of sight, one house back from the street, entry is secure via a sliding electric gate, and the generous rectangular section (undivided half share of 954sqm) is fully fenced for kids and pets. There are excellent private outdoor entertaining spaces, plus ample space to park multiple vehicles outside the internal access double garage.

The northern slopes location, just 300 metres from popular Upland Road Village cafes and restaurants, supermarket and pub, is highly sought after and ultra-convenient for commuters. The kids can leave home at 8:45am and be at Meadowbank School before the school bell rings. You'll love walking or jogging the nature trails around Orakei Basin nearby.

The EIFS (Exterior Insulated Finishing System) has contributed to the durability of this immaculate family home. Conceived 35 years ago in the late 1980s, like many homes of that era, it has clearly stood the test of time.

Our owners have recently become empty-nesters and are downsizing to a more simple life.

This remarkably affordable entry-level opportunity is uniquely offered with a realistic declared auction reserve price of just $1,499,000.
