54a Whytehead Crescent, St Heliers, Auckland City, Auckland

Built in the enduring 1960s and presenting as a supremely well located ground floor unit with potential to modernise, this tidy home in an elevated brick and stucco complex presents an exciting challenge for investors, first home buyers and savvy renovators. On a cross lease title of a 1/3 share of 632 sqm (approx.) of gardens with no body corp fees, the 90 sqm (approx.) two bedroom home is strategically located in a prestigious bays neighbourhood with a wide range of community amenities. Bring your paint brush, colour swatches and some big ideas on how to transform for the added value it will bring.

The functional layout has a spacious front hall opening directly into the attractively carpeted living room warmed by heat pump and capturing loads of natural light. A time capsule kitchen is separate and would respond well to an update but adequate as is with electric stove, tiled benchtops and original floor to ceiling cabinetry. Both bedrooms have built in wardrobes and share a bathroom with toilet alcove and separate spacious laundry. There is plenty of storage throughout and the single carport underneath has more storage in a shed at rear.

Zoned for St Ignatius and St Thomas's Primary School, as well as Selwyn College the property is also walking distance to Eastridge shopping mall and the Meadowbank Pony Club. Very handy for commuters to jump on a bus or train for the city commute and nearby the new Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive cycle/walkway makes for a fun weekend outing. Bay beaches are also close for a paddle or a leisurely stroll on the boardwalk before meeting up with friends at any one of the many cafes proliferating this famous harbourside precinct.
