3/84 Long Drive St Heliers, Auckland City

This refreshed character townhouse - one of only three in a tightly held block - is positioned on the terrace end flank. Set well back from the leafy thoroughfare leading down to St Heliers Village and its vibrant cosmopolitan beach precinct, the property has some admirable water and Rangitoto views. Ideal for downsizers and investors alike, those needing a town base and first home buying professionals will similarly appreciate this enchanting haven.

The well heated, newly carpeted 110 sqm (approx.) northeast facing dwelling basks in all day sun. Retaining dependable features of its archetypal 1970s era, timber framed glazing complements a cedar and rendered block exterior with tile roof. A small entrance foyer connects to both Shoji screened upstairs living areas and ground floor accommodation zones with fully repainted white-on-white interior promoting a simple yet sophisticated coastal ambiance. Combined lounge, dining area and a glorious study/office nook boast French door access to a sweet Juliet balcony where panoramas can be best savoured along with a glass of wine. The semi-separate well-equipped kitchen now boasts a brand-new oven and cooktop, and the nearby powder room toilet is a useful bonus. On the ground floor, two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes share a glamorous porcelain tiled bathroom with conjoined laundry having exit to the garden. The primary bedroom has a door opening to the deck and flat, fenced lawns ideal for kids, pets and gardening pursuits.

Extra parking and two carports integrating substantial lock up storage are part of the 325 sqm (approx.) freehold title section. In zone for St Heliers Primary, St Ignatius School, and Glendowie College and close to Dingle Dell Reserve and waterfront boardwalks, the bus stop is nearby with city CBD only 20 minutes' drive from home.
