*43 Titirangi Road New Lynn, Waitakere City

If character and convenience are firmly on your wish list you need to visit 43 Titirangi Road as soon as possible. It's a wonderful blend of classic and modern, featuring many of the beautiful touches so typical of pre-war kiwi bungalows, but it's also been modernised to a high standard (including heat pump and comprehensive insulation). Its situated amongst great neighbours and is super-handy for shops, schools and public transport, so offers you the best of both worlds.

There's plenty to impress from the moment your walk onto the property. The house sits proudly on a sunny, flat, grassy section. Once inside the house all the wonderful period features, such as the high vaulted ceilings, bay window, polished timber floors and stained glass window become evident. The stylish entry hall leads into the large bedrooms and the open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area. The kitchen is modern, and so are both bathrooms (including en-suite). As you will see all the hard work's been done, but you also have the opportunity to add your own touches in your own time.

The garden is flat, tidy and low maintenance, so great for kids and pets, and there a spacious double garage (complete with electric roll-over door). And the location is hard to beat. The nearest bus stop into the city is less than a minute's walk, and the restaurants, gyms, shops and train station at New Lynn are all within 1km.
