If you're looking for the best in city-fringe living, then this near new three bedroom terraced home holds the answer: location, lifestyle and modern living.

Wake up and take a quick stroll through the reserve for a fresh coffee or stop by the boutique grocer - in a suburb at the top of Auckland's hot list. The beaches of the Bays are yours to enjoy, with St Heliers just over the top of the rise.

Set across three levels, much consideration has been given to the design of the home, including tiled flooring, SMEG appliances, carpeted garage and double glazing throughout.

Modern, open plan living, dining and kitchen form the heart of the home on level one - opening onto a northwest-facing deck. Upstairs, two bedrooms - including the master - and a well-appointed bathroom. On the ground floor: single garage with internal access, third bedroom or second living, separate WC plus access to the grassy terrace where you can pull up a bean bag for the afternoon sun.

For commuters, this well connected suburb offers great transport options. Bus links and the train station are a short walk away, plus easy motorway access or a scenic cycle along Tamaki Drive.
