It's seldom that a special eastern suburbs property with considerable potential comes up for sale but this is it. Zoned Mixed Housing Urban under the Unitary Plan (operative in part), it could be a perfectly comfortable family residence or a development prospect for the astute investor. The choice is yours.

Reclining comfortably in established gardens on its 915m2 elevated site with level access this home offers the possibility to build up and capture the stunning views of Rangitoto Island and the harbour.

Basking in all-day sun, the main living and dining areas with warm timber flooring and fresh white interior lead out to a north facing covered deck for those morning coffees and summertime lunch parties. The modern kitchen is fresh and bright with a wonderful sunny aspect and ample cabinetry.

A layout that caters for busy family routines includes a sunlit master bedroom retreat with its own dressing room and ensuite bathroom segregated from the other sleeping quarters and main bathroom. The addition of a large rumpus room on the lower level is an absolute bonus for the kids.

The drive-through carport leads round to the single garage with internal access and further parking for a number of cars. On main bus routes and handy to the train station for travel into Britomart means the daily commute is hassle-free. A short drive to the beautiful eastern bay beaches, boutique shops, cafes and restaurants at Kohimarama, Mission Bay and St Heliers will complete your checklist of the must-haves for your 2017 dream property.
