29A Nihill Crescent, Mission Bay, Auckland City, Auckland

Whether buying a first home, embracing fresh fields in your golden years or looking for a smart investment in a prime beachside position, this gorgeous weatherboard home welcomes all comers. Constructed in the 1970s, the single level 131 sqm (approx.) home sits well back from the road on its own screened hedgerow driveway. The 429 sqm (approx.) fenced section is within walking distance of the sandy shores fringing the bustling Mission Bay shops and hospitality precinct.

Oriented to achieve maximum privacy, the warm, north facing home has solar panels to assist in keeping the power bills down. Interiors combine timber laminate flooring with light toned walls while plenty of cross ventilation is obtained from banks of bifolds in the open plan living and dining areas. Two large decks and a patio provide maximum spaces for substantial outdoor entertainment. The modernised kitchen with stone benchtops boasts efficient gas hob and underbench oven among its stainless-steel appliances while lots of white cabinetry is on hand to stow all the chef's gadgets. Two double bedrooms share a big subway tiled bathroom/laundry with dual basin vanity while the similarly treated master ensuite has tiled wet shower and sits alongside a walk-in wardrobe. The study nook is a handy bonus if you have students in your midst or occasionally work from home.

The lush sub-tropical gardens are bordered by established trees with a lofty Nikau palm endorsing the resort ambiance, while a raised herb and vege bed is ready to supply your lunch table salads. The lawns are partly Astroturf to minimise maintenance while the generous forecourt parking has room for at least three cars. In zone and a short walk to Kohimarama School and handy for top community amenities and main arterial routes to the CBD, this treasured property just hits different.
