189 Riverside Avenue Point England, Auckland City

Just 16 minutes from the Britomart hub is a waterfront gem. The current owners have bought acreage and have rural plans so here's your opportunity to take over ownership of their freshly renovated north-facing home - the quintessential Kiwi acre paradise with flat lawns, mature fruit trees and established gardens.Enjoy fabulous flow and private backyard big enough to accommodate the kayaks, bikes, boats and to potter in your vegetablegardens. A large sunny living room with fireplace has French doors that can be flung open to encourage guests outside and onto the deck with custom-designed shade sail for summer protection. The kitchen is 2 years young with custom joinery, parquet flooring, engineered stone bench top and double-glazing.

Three double bedrooms are served by a completely modernized bathroom with separate WC. The glimpses of the Tamaki River from the master bedroom will be where you decide your fishing plans for the day (5 minutes up the road to your boat moored at Panmure marina) as the morning sunshine pours in while you sip your coffee. Additional living at the rear caters for those who work from home or families with kids who want to chill out with friends and the Playstation.

Across the road is the Tamaki walkway, with parks at either end of the street. Just around the coast from Glendowie, near popular Wai O Taiki Bay you're handy to shopping centres, trains, walking distance to Sacred Heart College and 9 minutes' drive to St Kentigern's. Enjoy all the space now then sell half off when you want to downsize: think land-bank. Completed to high specifications with LED lights, Pink Batts insulation, rewired, 2-year-old ventilation system, wardrobe systems, commercial grade joinery yet retaining the intrinsic character of the era, this fabulous property so close to city amenities and yet with a peaceful seaside country air has to be visited to be fully appreciated.
