53 Paparoa Road, Cockle Bay, Manukau City, Auckland

This perfectly positioned Cockle Bay property is one of those very rare opportunities that only comes around once in a lifetime. Bursting with versatility and possibility, the options it presents are undeniably exciting.

The main home is a gorgeous character-filled 1950s residence which has been lovingly cared for and updated by the current owners. Warm timber floors flow across the open plan dining and contemporary kitchen, a hub for the family cook with its chic cabinetry and breakfast bar. The living room is generous and inviting, centred with a gas fireplace and filled with natural light.

Five bedrooms are spread across two floors, providing plenty of separation when necessary, and renovations include double glazing throughout and a stunningly modernised family bathroom that presents a relaxing retreat.

The property also features a one-bedroom cottage, presenting an excellent opportunity for supplemental income. Alternatively, bring extended family to stay or use it as the dream work from home office.

Finally, the property's large 941sqm (MOL) block of land offers rare scope for development. Zoned Mixed Housing Suburban in an otherwise mostly Single House Zone, it has services on site and is ready for astute developers to take advantage of the incredible location and landholding.

Fully fenced and nestled behind gates for privacy, the icing on top is the beautiful garden filled with abundant fruit trees and vegetable growing spaces.

With so many options, move in and create additional revenue while you make plans, or simply enjoy the good life close to all levels of excellent schooling and the local shopping precinct. An unmissable opportunity.
