18 Wolseley Street, Morningside, Auckland

Basking in sunshine in a perfectly positioned spot, this two-bedroom railway cottage is brimming with heritage character on a quiet and family-friendly street.

Step inside the 1910s-built home and feel an instant sense of relaxation in the spacious open-plan living and dining areas that are filled with natural light. The high ceilings, along with a crisp interior colour palette, offer a sanctuary-like oasis.

Two double-sized bedrooms extend the retreat-like atmosphere and renovated kitchen, bathroom and laundry spaces round out the home. Step out the back door to a quaint, delightful brick-paved courtyard perfect for soaking up the evening sun as it sets over the Waitakere Ranges. Or spend your al fresco time out front in the lush garden where you can hear the birds chirping and catch notes of the fragrant honeysuckle.

Located in a leafy city-fringe pocket, travelling is a breeze with motorways, and train and bus routes nearby. On your doorstep are Morningside and Kingland - both bustling suburbs with great options for brunch, a beer or butter chicken delight. Fowlds Park, filled with gum trees, expansive fields and a number of playgrounds, greets you at the end of the cul-de-sac.

Our vendor is ready for the next chapter in her life and says a hearty 'thank you' to the safe haven she called home for the past 11 years.
