18 Rautangi Road MT EDEN, Auckland City

Come and investigate this property. Terraced garden, full height dry stone cellar. Quality cul-de-sac street. Walking distance to both Grammar and EGGS. Opportunity for development and profit.

Through the cottage gate, under the arch, past the lounge (with fireplace on the left, and the first two bedrooms to the right. Then into the dining and kitchen, which snuggle between the master bedroom (room for an ensuite) and the living area. Attractive window details, rimu floors and access to the garden in the elbow of the house.

The terraced section extends far up to the Puriri trees of Mt Eden domain - and beyond that the outlook is rural, offering a much bigger area than the estimated 589 sqm. Its a different world up here, with space for swings and forts. Or leave it untouched as a green backdrop to your home. Or establish your own Eden Gardens and add seats and paths to pick up the Waitakere sunset views.

And what a great location! It is super efficient to get to town during the week with a head start on traffic. Or be a low-carb citizen with new B-Line link bus or the Airport bus at the end of the street. Don't worry about the Mt Eden traffic - the bus lane will zip you 50 metres home laughing.

On Saturday, stroll up to Mt Eden village for brunch. Meet friends for lunch. Head up the mountain for a post-prandial amble then back to the village for an organic or ethnic supper. Be as social or private as you fancy.

Zoned for AGS and EGGS, ANI or MENI and just minutes to the gelato shop, Mt Eden pool, the Arts Centre and activities.

If you are hoping for year-round sun, you may not like this house. But you can certainly have warmth and light and broad afternoon sun, in a snug and cosy home if you are willing to spend $65,000 (quality builder's estimate, includes project management).

Will sell hugely under the 2008 CV of $880,000, with some urgency. Price indication - Low to mid $600,000's. Phone, email or SMS Penny Fraser Licensee Salesperson (REAA 2008)
