Generous covered front deck, sandpit and small front lawn bathed in afternoon sun. Enjoy living in a friendly, quiet no-exit street where children ride bikes and sell lemonade, but which is only 200m from a major bus route that allows for a 30 minute bus commute to the CBD in peak traffic (or a quick bike ride to the ferry at Birkenhead or Northcote wharf), or regular link buses to the NEX Northern Express busway and Takapuna. Link quickly with neighbours through the street WhatsApp and Pest Free groups, or by joining the street halloween and/or Xmas party organisers. Close to a range of parks, libraries, churches, shops and local cafes. This deceptively simple home was designed by the mother of the original owners to be a family home and built with timber from their family mill. Her care in designing a modest but highly functional dwelling is evidenced by it having been owned only by those original owners and different members of our family since it was built. We've raised our children here, love the area, and hope to return after a few years working outside of Auckland. Looking for long term tenants who will enjoy and care for our home while we're away. We're still tidying up a bit of painting, but to arrange an early viewing, text Blake or Sarah on .
