208 New Windsor Road New Windsor, Auckland City

With a provenance reaching back to the 1950s this modernised home on an elevated ridgeline has an outlook to the distant Waitakere Ranges. With a family friendly floor plan the 160 sqm (approx.) brick and weatherboard dwelling could be perfect for a growing family while as a currently tenanted property, investors could retain the incumbents for a decent yield. The versatility of location with room to upgrade and add value in places creates opportunities for savvy first home buyers to secure this as their affordable first step on the property ladder.

From the front entrance hall you're met by polished native timber flooring - a reminder of the home's nostalgic past - continued in the generous open plan living and dining area. A crisp white palette elicits a contemporary vibe with a wall of whitewashed bricks framing the fireplace and a heat pump doubling down on the comfort factor. Adjoining this, a semi- separate kitchen continues the polar white theme in flush cabinetry, subway tiles and benchtops which contrast with stainless steel appliances. Quality carpeting underpins four bedrooms all with built in closets while the master bedroom has deck access and small ensuite with shower and vanity. Separate laundry has door to the north facing deck. The private rear courtyard is fenced and sheltered making it easy to let the kids and pets safely roam.

A huge lawn at the front of the section has scope to plant more and off-street parking sits outside of a basement tandem garage accompanied by plenty of storage. Handy the motorway for commuters, bus stop outside the gate and minutes from Mt Roskill shops with school zoning for New Windsor School, Blockhouse Bay Intermediate and Lynfield College.
