1 Tarawera Terrace St Heliers, Auckland City

Crafted in the 1980s era of cedar weatherboard and brick, this solidly built home has spectacular wide views of the harbour from the city skyline to the iconic Rangitoto Island.

The upstairs north-facing open plan living and dining is the heart of the home and extends out to a covered deck and conservatory bathed in all day sun and that memorising panorama view. A perfect spot for summer alfresco dining or cosy up inside by the gas fire in winter.

Fantastic for entertaining, the expansive kitchen with a breakfast bar opening where you can take in the views while you have a glass of wine and prepare and cook your evening meals.

Spread over two levels, the generous layout offers space for families with teenagers or couples who want to work from home. The three bedrooms are split with two upstairs and one downstairs with a second large living room that opens to the paved courtyard landscaped garden complete with a fishpond. Upstairs the master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in-robe, plus a further bedroom and bathroom with a spa bath.

Fully fenced and secure for your pets, the home has a lift and is very comfortable to live in as is, while you may want to refurbish to your style.

This much-loved low maintenance, easy care lock-up and leave property close to St Heliers Village, cafes and restaurants may tick all your boxes.
