Prime Position, Perfect City Option

If home is out of town these days, but you still want a place for city days, appointments, or a night out without the drive home, this Herne Bay property is worth a look. Set on the suburb's coveted northern slopes, in a quiet cul-de-sac and one of just five units, this 1960s character home is a genuine rarity - and with a motivated vendor ready to meet the market, it's an opportunity not to be missed.

A City Base That Looks After Itself

For out-of-town owners, low maintenance matters most, and this home delivers. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge flow out to a sun-drenched private courtyard garden, and a bright double bedroom with generous built-in wardrobe rounds out a home that's as practical as it is charming. Polished timber floors and a north-facing deck with harbour views add real character, while generous undercover parking for a car plus motorbike/storage means secure parking between visits. It sits on a cross lease title with no body corporate fees, so there's nothing to manage or pay for your time away from the city.

Everything On Foot, Nothing To Organise

Just an easy stroll to Herne Bay's cafes, boutiques, and beaches, with Ponsonby, public transport, Auckland Hospital, and the northern motorway all moments away, this is a place you can lock up, leave, and walk straight back into.

A Rare Chance to Buy In

Whether you're after a permanent pied-de-terre or simply a reliable base for city trips to Auckland, this low-maintenance home offers exceptional value in a location that rarely comes up for sale. Zoned for excellent schools and Auckland City Hospital its an address that delivers options for the future. With a genuinely motivated vendor and a home this well-positioned, we invite all buyers to view with confidence and act decisively. Opportunities like this simply don't last.
