41 Rocklands Avenue Mount Eden, Auckland City

Once upon a time about 100 years ago this delightful transitional villa glowed with good looks and artistry - it's still in evidence today. Over the decades the story has featured many years of love but the location on one of Mt Eden's most prestigious avenues is the cherry on the teacake and a makeover would be a strong renovation game move.

Bring your architect, builder and tradie crew to point and discuss, to dream and to suss - this faded rose is ready for you to ring the changes. Our motivated vendor who has plans elsewhere insists that this must be sold on or before auction day.

The full-size freehold section is a 511 sqm (approx) block - flat and fenced with excellent site access. The 115 sqm (approx) home has an interior that can best be described as shabby chic and is proudly anchored by native timber flooring, a high stud, touches of elegant leadlight glazing and solid timber joinery. Three double bedrooms share a mellowing bathroom with the separate laundry housing a WC and this utility gallery space flows through double French doors to the back deck and yard. The lean-to kitchen on the south eastern corner has recessed skylight and a second fireplace in the adjacent dining room again reminds of a bygone era.

The overgrown gardens are rocking a "welcome-to-the-jungle" vibe and contain a range of beautiful palms, ferns and deciduous trees with brick patios leading to expansive lawns. Walk to all you need in this pivotal location with Dominion Road and Balmoral Road both equidistant with Potters Park and the main arterial routes to commute by car and public transport mighty handy too. Zoned for excellent schools including Mt Albert Grammar and Balmoral School, this is an exemplar of buying a slice of the best!
