1/5 Zita Avenue, Matakatia Bay, Rodney, Auckland

Step back to a time when neighbours looked out for each other, shared a cold drink, and swapped fresh fish. This is true old-school coastal living.

The home itself is elevated and sunny, with decking on both sides and big windows that capture sweeping views across Matakatia and out to the city. It's cosy, full of charm, and designed for easy living.

Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, a bathroom, separate laundry, and a classic kitchen with breakfast bar - a simple but practical layout that works. The sea views from the kitchen will make sure cooking is no longer a chore.

Outdoors, a sheltered north-facing deck offers the perfect retreat after a day on the beach or out on the water. Under the house is a single garage, plenty of storage space, and an extra room. Further off-street parking near the front door provides a handy spot to park a boat or campervan.

There is plenty of scope here to renovate and add further value, especially with the Penlink well underway.

With Tindalls Bay on one side and Matakatia on the other, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to beach walks and swims. Manly Village is close by for cafes and essentials, and Gulf Harbour Marina makes a city commute by ferry simple.

For peace of mind, a new roof and guttering has been installed and a building report is available.

This is your chance to secure an affordable coastal gem in a neighbourhood that's as welcoming as it is special. To download the property documents copy and paste this link: https://www.harcourtsfiles.co.nz/listings/JSEA
