27/22a Willcott Street, Mt Albert, Auckland

The previous tenants have moved on after 17 years so our owner has seized the opportunity to conduct a substantial renovation to this prime two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse in the most convenient location in Auckland. Now on-par with much higher priced new-built developments, the top-to-toe makeover offers significantly more value for money with modern, easy-care living.

The east-west configuration ensures warmth and a high level of sunlight through the home and the west-facing outdoor living area is a spacious afternoon suntrap. Two carparks within a secure gated community, combined with great local schools and a two-minute walk to the train station ensure this is the best buy in the area.

The 3-level layout offers versatility with the ability to supplement the mortgage with income from a flat-mate. Or as a pure investment the "as-new" condition, location, and conveniences make this an easy rental with excellent earnings potential (current rental appraisal of $720 - $790 pw).

The smart money, at the moment, is chasing properties with easy access to Auckland's nearly complete Central Rail Link - the future for Auckland's fast commuter transport. It's hard to get closer than this property, offering a great rental yield along with excellent capital gain potential due to its future-proofed location.

Townhouses in this desirable enclave are seldom on the market and when they are they don't last long so make sure you register your interest today. CV $590,000.
