41 Margaret Avenue, Mount Albert, Auckland

Let's review your list of 'Must Haves' - and we'd be hard-pressed to find fault. Renovated, extended, on a full site, and positioned within walking distance of excellent schools - plus a position at the city's fringe where centrality is key - it sounds like we've nailed it but seeing is believing. With all the best things you could wish for and motivated sellers who have done the hard work and now seek their next step, this is a sign that you've found your next or forever home.

• Very handsome, you've got the looks of the 1930s bungalow with some added quirks that enhance the character.

• Open plan kitchen and dining integrates wonderfully with the expansive decking, heightening your entertaining options. Explore the large, flat back yard - still in a traditional state that encourages play and pets, but ready for the landscaping and pool if you desire

• Extended to make daily life for families a breeze, the bedrooms are ample and comfortable, and the master has its own deck for the serene morning coffee or quiet reading spot. There is a bonus study space for those working from home, or needing a corner for the tots to play indoors, central gas heating and wired sound system throughout house to top it off

• Interiors that exude timeless appeal are ready for your collections or art and objects. While you enjoy your first years here you can plan further value-adds if you wish, thanks to the full-site and the enduring popularity of the address.

• Walk to Bar Martin and the much loved local cafe - Dear Jane. Gladstone school is moments away, and easy access to both train and bus routes remind you how close you are to the heart of the city.

This location will always hold value - and with flat and generous sites becoming a thing of the past, you can hold on to it to future proof your position. Act now.
