4/49 Tarawera Terrace, Saint Heliers, Auckland City, Auckland

Nestled to the rear, discover this brick and tile gem in a coveted bays neighbourhood. Still displaying some of its authentic 1960s character this opportunity is anything but ordinary. With its exceptional position and orientation, the large, fully fenced backyard will wow you. In a desirable St Heliers neighbourhood, the tranquil haven presents an affordable scenario for aspirational first home couples, small families, downsizers and savvy investors.

Original native timber floors enhancing the timeless ambiance contrast beautifully with freshly repainted white walls and anchor open plan living and dining areas. Copious all-day sunshine pours in through sizeable picture windows with heat pump for the chilly days and strategically oriented front and back doors encouraging breezy summertime ventilation. A contemporary kitchen still recalling the home's mid-century modern era features stainless steel benchtops, updated whiteware, and gas hob - with scope to renovate further down the track if desired. The bathroom has been similarly updated with shower over bathtub, heated towel rail, vanity and integrated stacked space-saving laundry nook. Two bedrooms both open out onto a colossal wraparound deck providing indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining or just relaxing with a wine as the kids and family pooch scamper about on flat lawns. A single lock up garage is part of a row in a freestanding structure provided for all four properties.

Sitting on approximately 375 sqm (approx.) of land the section is somewhat of a blank canvas and could be landscaped further to create your own special outdoor wonderland. In zone for St Ignatius, St Thomas's and Glendowie College and an easy walk to Madill's Farm, Kohimarama Beach & St Heliers Bay, public transport and commuter routes, this rare pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is hard to find and easy to fall in love with.
