16 George Street, Surfdale, Waiheke Island, Auckland

As soon as you step inside this well-maintained house, the sense of space and light is palpable. Sunlight streams into the large, combined kitchen, dining, and lounge area courtesy of its skylights, as well as the picture windows and sliding doors that open onto the expansive entertaining deck with sea and bush views. The two bedrooms upstairs and an additional family room are all spacious. There you find two doubles and an excellent bathroom with walk-in shower and a separate toilet. And it's not just the house that's bright and airy. There's a splendid separate studio with its own entry and bathroom. The studio also has a skylight and its own deck. A private and peaceful space away from the main house. With two heat pumps in the house and one in the studio, as well as double glazing throughout, both yours and your guests' creature comforts are well catered for. And the two water tanks mean you can enjoy a long, hot summer here without the risk of running dry. In fact, it's summer when you can really take advantage of this great central location. There are beaches in both directions. Turn right off your parking deck to Palm Beach, a short drive away. Turn left and the beach, shops, and cafes in Surfdale are just down the road. Is this a neat home, great bach with room for guests & teenagers or the perfect rental investment? Only you can answer that question.

Auction on site, Saturday 11 October (unless sold prior).
