The Total X Factor

Kiwiana character weatherboard, on the market for the first time in over 47 years. One owner, many memories.
Get excited about this North facing single level home, its jam packed full of potential and possibility to stamp your own mark with its character cottage charm, unbeatable location and its wonderful big back yard. This is the quintessential kiwiana dream time section. Fully fenced and lined with fruit trees, ample storage with its two quaint wendy houses and big wood shed, its set for all the seasons.
This fantastic family home has much to offer the astute buyer with its good sized kitchen, large master bedroom with all the plumbing in place for that second bathroom /ensuite. Native tongue and groove floor boards and a seamless flow out to an entertainers decking area, perfect for those summer night gatherings with family and friends.
Positioned within walking distance to Verran's Corner shops and café culture, ferries and transport into the city and popular schools. Minutes away from Birkenhead shops and access to motorways. The convenience of day to day life doesn't get better than this.
There is something very special about this home, feel the the magic the minute you walk through the door. Come see what I see!

For all those garden enthusiasts some background information on the garden from the vendor:

1. The garden has been used bio-dynamically and organically since 1970.
2. It came 2nd and then 1st throughout Auckland for a Council-run sustainability garden competition. Judge was Ruud Kleinpast.
3. It used to have beehives and hens, an over-large heritage feijoa, and a third macadamia tree. So there are two macadamia trees still on the property.
4. The large upper area of garden including the new "orchard" was where the family vegetables were grown.
5. There is a pump under the house which pumps rainwater from the tank to the kitchen sink for drinking if preferred. Water is roughly filtered at the roof with a top-notch filter under the sink, replaced annually.
