32 Shackleton Road Mount Eden, Auckland City

Tucked into a quiet, leafy pocket of Mount Eden, this is a home with real substance and a lot of upside.

You've got four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two genuine living areas, so there's space for everyone to spread out without being on top of each other. Bathed in all-day light, one of the living areas also opens directly to a sheltered balcony that serves as a private sun trap through the afternoon and evening. This is perfectly balanced by the home's main eastern deck, which captures the lovely morning sun the ideal spot for your first coffee of the day. There's also a separate sunroom or office, ideal if you need a work from home setup or just a bit of extra flexibility.

The character is there too, with ornate ceilings and solid proportions that give the home a bit of presence. It sits in a private, almost bush-like setting, which makes it feel nicely removed while still being close to everything you need.

Underneath is a huge bonus, an amazing amount of storage space for everything, something you don't often find.

It's a good, honest home in a great spot, with plenty you could add over time if you wanted to.
